Conger, Jay Alden
Spirit at Work : Discovering the Spirituality in Leadership
Jossey-Bass Inc., 1998.
LIBRARY FAITH AT WORK; LEADERSHIP
In this insightful exploration, Jay Conger and his coauthors examine the role of spirituality  in leadership. Can spirituality offer solutions to some of the increasing demands being made on today’s organizations? As traditional sources of support and connectedness - such as community, church, and extended family - continue to erode,  can the workplace be expected to meet the spiritual needs of its participants? What can leaders do to draw on their organization’s spiritual resources? In Spirit at Work, management experts, an organizational development specialist, two  Jesuit priests, a consultant and trainer to nonprofits, and the director of program evaluation for the Lilly Endowment argue that organizations possess great spiritual potential because they provide individuals with an essential link to a  larger world.
