Leaders build community and draw on its wisdom. The quality of life in organizations is enhanced when leaders pay attention to, and act out of, the spiritual foundations of their work. There is a profound connection between the personal journey of the leader towards transformation and the communal journey of the organization.
Spiritual leaders are storytellers, who give voice to the deep story of a community.
They discern how the Spirit is embodied in the life of a community and in its individual members, and they build community, across roles and boundaries. Spirited leadership is about more than developing skills and competencies. Ultimately, it has to do with listening, letting go, and allowing oneself to be led.
