We witnessed the individual soul at work where many people, once disheartened at work, evolved to being engaged in meaningful work. When the individual soul is engaged, people naturally want to add value, are willing to go the distance and devote time to endeavors they feel, regardless of how small, are worthwhile. Many people feel lost in their organizations, feel apart from them rather than a part of them. Many see themselves in a system in which they have little or no influence. The business mind that becomes myopic, singularly valuing the financial bottom line and techniques to boost it, ultimately dehumanizes the organization, and, self-protectively, people disconnect from their soul so as not be exploited.
People suffer and their organizations suffer.
When the individual soul is connected to the organization, people become connected to something deeper the desire to contribute to a larger purpose, to feel they are part of a greater whole, a web of connection. When this context develops, people begin to openly acknowledge the need for others, to see their interdependence, and their desire to belong their tribal instinct awakens. The soul at work is also a collective soul. We listened to the collective soul at work the transformation of the protean spirit of the organization in all its shades and hues from trauma, to hope, to infinite possibilities. It is this collective soul at work that is most capable of intelligent, humane action that benefits the whole.
