| Abstract | "Spirituality for Leaders delves into the integration of spirituality within leadership practices and highlights how spiritual beliefs and practices can enhance ethical decision-making, organizational culture, and well-being. This book emphasizes the essential role of spirituality in fostering holistic and ethical leadership in today's interconnected world. Drawing on diverse traditions, including Indigenous practices, traditional and New Age philosophies, Christianity, Judaism, Islam, and Hinduism, it examines spirituality through lenses such as contemplation, philosophy, religion, and practice. Practical applications such as mindfulness and meditation are presented as pathways toward workplace well-being and leadership effectiveness. This book addresses the role of spirituality in leadership, coaching, identity, inclusion, and organizational transformation. Including authors from both the Global North and Global South, it offers a panoramic and multidisciplinary perspective and provides a roadmap for fostering compassion, inclusivity, and integrity in leadership practices. Combining theoretical insights with practical tools, this book appeals to business leaders, managers, HR professionals, and coaches seeking values-driven leadership models, as well as students and researchers of leadership, organizational psychology, business, philosophy, and religious studies. Individuals wishing to align their inner life with public action would also gain insight from this book."--Publisher page iii. |
