This Conference is designed to further the Centre‟s mission and also to provide a context for scholars with research and teaching interests in leadership and management education to discuss how wisdom might be cultivated and applied as a vital resource to responsible management and leadership. In 2010, the Centre co-organised with the Academy of Business in Society a conference on Practical Wisdom for Management from the Chinese Classical Traditions which stimulated strong interest from Chinese and international scholars. A selection of papers from this conference are available in a special edition of the Journal of Management Development (2011, Vol. 30 no.7-8).
