Abstract: Narratives of wisdom exemplars facilitate comprehension of the cognitive and behavioral constituents that make up wisdom. The pedagogical significance of narratives featuring wisdom exemplars is beyond dispute. The present study investigated the impact of narratives featuring wise leaders on the cultivation of wisdom in leadership situations. The research methodology involved a randomized controlled experiment with business students as participants. The experimental group was prompted to nominate a wise leader, narrate their story, and reflect on it. Conversely, the control condition did not require participants to partake in these activities. Subsequently, both groups were prompted to envision a hypothetical conflict scenario within a professional environment and provide a response from a leadership standpoint. The findings of this study reveal that recounting the narratives of exemplary wise leaders contributes to the augmentation of three prevalent facets of wise thinking: compromise, intellectual humility, and others’ perspectives. These results hold significant implications for educators and organizations seeking to improve the efficacy of leadership training initiatives and foster the growth of wise leaders capable of navigating intricate professional situations. The study’s limitations and potential avenues for future research are discussed in the concluding section.

Abstract: This case study describes my experience consulting with an international company on a leadership-development and career-advancement program for women. It aims to highlight the decision-making process that I applied while designing and conducting the coaching element of the program and to share best practice implications for coaching in such programs. I begin by describing the program’s goal and the coaching request. Next, I consider the critical aspects of the coaching element; in doing this, I will highlight the challenges I faced and the choices I made. Then I report on the program’s outcomes, offer recommendations for organizations conducting similar diversity efforts, and make suggestions about what consultants who provide coaching in such programs should pay particular attention to. Finally, I conclude with a discussion of limitations and a summary of lessons learned.

Abstract: Self-handicapping is a strategy that provides individuals with justifications for the externalization of failure. Although rarely investigated, external factors are assumed to be influential in the emergence of self-handicapping. Utilizing trait activation theory, this study aims to understand the association of leadership styles with employees’ self-handicapping and how this process is mediated by fear of failure and moderated by socially prescribed perfectionism. Data were collected from 210 individuals aged 20–67. The results indicated that self-handicapping behavior was negatively associated with transformational and positively associated with abusive supervision with the significant mediator role of fear of failure. Socially prescribed perfectionism has also appeared to be a significant moderator only in the relationship between transformational leadership and fear of failure.
