The Getting and Keeping Of Wisdom: Inter-Generational Knowledge Transfer in a Changing Public Service

"The current paper addresses changes in the makeup and responsibilities of leaders in the public service, and the consequences for knowledge management, human resource management and succession planning in the federal public service over the next decade. It further introduces the notion of wisdom as an important characteristic of seasoned and strategic leaders and a corporate resource that can be fostered, retained and disseminated, as well as lost to departures." From the Public Service Commission of Canada.
