Description
This volume is an experiential-realization journey for the sacred. It explores and analyses how spirituality can stall degenerative trends in business, management, governance, healthcare, or any other secular engagements. It offers a deep-structure relationship between ethically healthy performance and spirituality. The authors offer glimpses of the deep-structure relationship between ethically healthy performance and spirituality. This volume is enriched with illustrations from the long history of spiritually inspired leadership practices that provide positive inspiration to Indian businesses and everyday life. The study cautions against a casual or glib approach to spirituality that can never be another instrument or programme for the single-minded pursuit of unquestioned business goals.
