The Annual Conference of the European SPES entitled “Leading with Wisdom” was hosted by the Alba University in April 21–23, 2010 in Veldhoven, The Netherlands.
The conference explored the meaning and practice of wisdom as the basis of trustful and effective leadership. In a period of ‘creative destruction’ and transformation, the role of wisdom is vital and indispensable to meet the complexities, uncertainties, and
turbulences in business.
The theme of the conference was inspired by the book of Peter Pruzan and Kirsten Pruzan Mikkelsen, “Leading with Wisdom. Spiritual-based Leadership in Business” (Greenleaf Publishing, Sheffield, 2007). The authors were keynote speakers in the conference.
The conference resulted in a book entitled “Leading with Wisdom” published by Garant in 2011.
