injudiciousness
Lack of wisdom
Injudiciousness is poor judgment or lack of wisdom in decision-making.
The word describes the quality of acting without careful consideration of consequences: The injudiciousness of his remarks cost him the promotion.
It suggests thoughtlessness rather than malice—someone being unwise rather than deliberately harmful.
