Riassunto

In today's competitive and sometimes cutthroat business world, the concept that a leader can and should govern based on spiritual principles might seem impractical or impossible. In Leading from Within, Thomas Beeman and Richard Glenn make the powerful case that having a spiritual frame of reference can actually benefit companies, but more important, nourish the leaders who shepherd them. Using examples from their own careers and personal experiences, these two health-care executives outline twelve spiritual concepts that senior management in all industries can use to lead and live by. Leading from Within speaks to CEOs, executives, senior managers, board members, and anyone seeking to direct an organization while staying focused on what really matters—for themselves and for their companies.Each chapter starts with an illustrative leadership challenge spotlighting a corporate issue. Beeman and Glenn then introduce the spiritual concept relating to that issue, why it matters to the corporation and individuals, and how it relates to leadership. Sections called “Fireside Chats” present conversations between the two authors in which they use examples from their own experiences to further demonstrate the importance of a spiritual perspective. Personal applications, journal opportunities, and daily spiritual practices for the reader round out the insightful, applicable chapters.
