Stirring of Soul in the Workplace
An organizational consultant who is as deeply concerned about the domain of the human soul as he is about organizational development, Briskin closes the distance between the two concepts in a way that diminishes neither and augments both. Careful not to idealize the concept of soul, Briskin warns against its use as a corporate slogan to isolate excellence and the pursuit of organizational ideals. He characterizes the soul as the union of opposites within each person and suggests that when corporate goals are sought without regard for spiritual wholeness, the darker, destructive aspects of soul life come to the fore in an organization. Briskin illustrates the dimensions of the soul's influence as he analyzes the history of the power struggle in the workplace.
