ABOUT THE SPIRITUAL PRINCIPLES
OF LEADERSHIP
Dr. Paul Houston and Dr. Stephen Sokolow are currently working on
a series of books dealing with The Spiritual
Principles of Leadership.
The essence of their work is understanding, integrating, and expressing
the spiritual dimension of leadership. Their books are about universal
spiritual principles that can serve as the foundation for wise leadership.
The importance of their work can be viewed through three lenses:
The first lens is a worldview. The
world is in crisis and, unless there is a shift in awareness, we
may be moving toward a future that is more bleak than bright. Enlightened
leaders can play an essential role in moving the world toward a
better and brighter future.
The second lens is for leaders. Leaders want to be wise and effective. The
Spiritual Principles of Leadership can contribute to greater
wisdom that will help leaders not only know the right things to
do and how to do them in the right way at the right time, but also
help them do so for the right reasons. Based on these principles,
enlightened leaders can foster more effective organizations and
be more fulfilled in their work.
The third lens is from the viewpoint of
the individual. Leadership, based on universal spiritual
principles, can empower people at all levels. As individuals become
empowered, they can manifest their unique gifts and talents, which
will contribute to personal satisfaction and to the common good.
So enlightened leadership is about
making the world better, helping leaders grow and become more effective,
and about empowering people throughout the world to fulfill their
best destiny. |
