Reihe: Christian Perspectives on Lead

In a world of managerial discourse, measurement and control, leaders and

workers alike cry out for inspiration and innovation in a way that

respects their humanity. Spirituality as the search for meaning and a

healthy work/life balance is therefore no longer an esoteric phenomenon

but part of mainstream leadership. In this volume, two business leaders

share how they have seen the need for spiritual leadership develop at

their places of work. A psychologist and a philosopher explain what

spirituality is, and how it works in the practice of business

leadership. Three theologians frame spirituality by demonstrating the

benefits of Ignatian spirituality, by comparing spiritual leadership

with Christ’s offices as king, prophet and priest, and by reflecting on

the human tendency to glorify the leader and how destructive tendencies

can be avoided in spiritual leadership. This maiden volume of the series

“Christian Perspectives on Leadership and Social Ethics,” is published

by the Institute of Leadership and Ethics, of the Evangelische

Theologische Faculteit in Leuven (Belgium) and serves leaders to face

increasing pressure for innovation in today’s fast changing world.
