Editorial Reviews
Review
"This is a very important book, I believe, both for its pioneering discoveries about spirituality in the business world and its leading-edge suggestions for putting those findings to good use."--Ken Wilber, author, A Brief History of Everything
"This work contributes a sober, well thought-out, research-based review of spirituality in the workplace--a welcome antidote to the current plethora of superficial treatments of the subject."--Robert M. Burnside, director of products, publications & alternative delivery systems, Center for Creative Leadership
"A masterful release of spirituality onto the center stage of managerial life. Mitroff and Denton have done us all, educators and practitioners, a great service. Someone needed to draw back the curtain to reveal the depth of the alienation caused by the separation of being and doing in the managerial role. Bravo!"--Andre L. Delbecq, J. Thomas & Kathleen L. McCarthy University Professor, Department of Organizational Analysis and Management, Santa Clara University
Book Description
This first-ever survey of spiritual beliefs and practices among managers and executives finds that, while most people have strong spiritual beliefs, few feel that they can act on those beliefs at work. And yet, overall company performance is actually higher in companies where company values and spiritual values coalesce. Filling a gap in today's literature on spirituality and business, this book examines five proven models for introducing spirituality to the workplace and spells out the strengths and weaknesses of each model. More than a personal guide to spiritual well-being, it shows how you can harness the immense spiritual energy at everyone's core, and outlines solutions for bringing that energy into the organization.
