This has been done by interviewing ten members from diverse departments in a large organisation and asking each one to discuss their experiences working with wise leaders. The analysis of the resulting interviews has provided a picture of how leadership wisdom is realised in the leader-follower relationship. It also implies that leadership wisdom can be found in the relationship between a leader who is both capable and willing, the level of openness of the participant to engage, and an environment conducive to encouraging such relationship. Given these three factors, the wise-leader follower relationship is one characterised by trust, emotional intelligence, effective communication and personal development.enThe AuthorExecutive abilityLeader-follower relationshipFields of Research::350000 Commerce, Management, Tourism and Services::350200 Business and ManagementThesisQ112884408https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q112884408
