This article analyzes in detail the virtue of practical wisdom as described by Thomas Aquinas, and on this basis it develops a comprehensive framework to enrich Authentic Leadership theory, establishing the virtue of practical wisdom as foundational for the authentic leader’s behavior and character development, and highlighting shortfalls that may stem from vices opposed to it. The goal of the article is two‐fold: First, it seeks to fill a void on the role of virtues–and in particular practical wisdom–in leadership studies; second, it aims to show how cultivating the virtue of practical wisdom as described by Aquinas promotes the development of exactly those traits that are characteristic of an authentic leader, offering a set of propositions delineating these correlations.

实践智慧：领导者的美德。汇集阿奎那和真诚的领导

本文详细分析了托马斯·阿奎纳斯（Thomas Aquinas）描述的实践智慧的优点，并在此基础上开发了一个全面的框架，以充实真实领导力理论，确立了实践智慧的优点，奠定了真实领导者的行为和品格发展的基础，并着重强调缺点可能来自反对它的恶习。本文的目的有两个：首先，它试图填补美德-尤其是实践智慧-在领导力研究中的作用。其次，它的目的是展示如何培养阿奎那所描述的实践智慧的优点，如何促进正统领导者特有的那些特征的发展，并提供一系列描述这些相关性的命题。
