Wisdom and Intelligence are not the same thing, and a lack of either one can wreak havoc within a professional's career. While universities and training programs give quite a bit of knowledge to professionals to increase their intellectual capacity, too much of that knowledge is merely theoretical in nature, making it difficult to be effective when faced with real-world situations in the workplace. This then is where wisdom comes into play, helping to balance things out. However, wisdom is severely lacking within the workplace these days, causing significant stress and problems for many professionals today, regardless of industry. So, how does a person get more wisdom and understanding about the reality of the workplace, and more importantly, the strategies and skills needed to deal with it all?
