Synopses & Reviews
This book brings together two long-term diverging notions about workplace spirituality, religious and non-religious. Leading Spiritually reviews workplace spirituality from revered streams such as Buddhism, Hinduism, and Judaism, but also from a stance of personal reflection, self-leadership, and powerful interpersonal relationships. Over the course of ten chapters, a team of expert authors address concepts such as interconnectedness, morality, trust, collaboration, insight, communication, self-realization, evolution, gratitude, and wisdom. Each chapter highlights key elements of meaningful, constructive performance from a different angle, contributing to a multi-faceted view of spiritual performance. Specific attention has been allotted to an effective balance between theory and practice, making this work appealing for scholars, students, and practitioners.
