Recommendation

Ian I. Mitroff and Elizabeth Denton proffer that many of the problems faced by business and society are the result of a spiritual impoverishment that they discovered in their research on organizations. The authors bring an authoritative, scholarly tone to their material, yet they write conversationally and make no effort to hide their opinions. While indicting corporate America for its neglect of the spiritual, Mitroff and Denton also cite examples of businesses with soul that encourage the expression of spirit. getAbstract.com recommends this book to all readers interested in the creation of a more spiritually fulfilling workplace.

Take-Aways

  • Many of today’s business problems are a result of spiritual neglect.
  • Most organizations suffer from spiritual impoverishment.
  • Corporate problems cannot be solved without addressing the issue of spirituality in the workplace.
