Dozens of books about spirituality and management have demonstrated
the yearning for spirituality in the workplace that exists in people
like Kerry Hamilton. No longer content to abide the widening chasm
between their deeply-held values and the all-too-common business
practices they encounter, these readers long for congruence between
their values and their work. They wonder whether the days of the
giants of corporate character like Johnson & Johnson, businesses who
believed that integrity and profitability could co-exist, are gone for
good. Are we living in a state of business and organizational entropy?
Are we doomed to endless repetition of the Enron, Worldcom, and Global
Crossing scandals? Must integrity and profitability now be opposed?
What has happened to American business, healthcare, and non-profits in
the last forty years? Soul at Work: Spiritual Leadership in
Organizations demonstrates vividly that another way is possible, based
on the contemporary restoration of the partnership between integrity
and profitability. It translates the core of what companies like
Johnson and Johnson stood for forty years ago into contemporary forms.
Through compelling stories of contemporary businesses, healthcare
organizations, and nonprofits, Soul at Work shows how integrity,
profitability, and personal and organizational transformation are all
of a piece.
