SPIRITUALITY AT THE WORK PLACE

SPIRITUALITY'S CONTRIBUTION 

AT THE WORK PLACE

In what ways can spirituality within an organizational context contribute to the development of Business Leadership and the workplace  ?

In the final conclusion of this paper I hope to be able to answer the following question: “In what ways can spirituality within an organizational context contribute to the development of business leadership and the workplace.” Some of my presuppositions in the build-up to the actual writing of this paper were that:

- Spirituality has many practical components, which can be employed in the workplace.

- Spiritual-based leaders might foster the learning and development, of both the individual employee and the organization in which he or she works.

- Leading from a spiritual basis can transform the overall working experience of both the leader and the people he leads.

- Spiritual-based leadership attempts to create a synergy between the organization and its employees; and

- Operating from spiritual-based values is a long-term management process and not simply another management technique, instrument or program designed for facilitating a short-time objective.
