To bring spirit into an organisation requires Courage. It requires Leadership commiting to have courage to be calm amid chaos, to sustain the tension until empowered learning has happened. To maintain personal spirit, to have faith and trust in both people and the process.
Giving orders doesn't require personal courage. That's one of the reasons so many mangers, who give lip service to workers involvement, revert to old modes of wor...

The Leader who doesn't keep people focused on the organisation's financials as well as their spiritual goals is undermining their trust which jepordises the relationship of the leader to their workers.
Having a safe relationship is needed for workers to be innovative and creative. The real bottom line is to have finacially healthy, competitive organisationin which there is no need to choose between either financial security and pro...

In my research into Human Factors and leaders who promoted creativity, quality and safety I had the opportunity to travel far and wide. I came across an organisation that had an intuitive leader who told me story after story of innovations that their workers had made to enhance the way that they worked. Some changes improved safety, others improved productivity, others improved engineering of products...

As Leaders if we are to provide space for a spirit centred community to emerge we need a new tool that seeks to challenge our assumptions, our creativity and our spotaneity rather than to restrict and controlin order toensure outomes with which we are familiar and comfotablw with.

The Power of questions may be the most underrated and overlooked leverage we have on our organisations.
It is a powerful decision making device and a powerful learning tool. Most of us aren't used to thinking in the terms of questions; we have to practice developing information and idea generating questions and learn to 'package' them in an empowering way to bring understanding to the isssue(s) being explored.

Leaders in spirit respecting workplaces are deeply connected to everyone. Leaders love, value and respect both themselves and others.
Trust and faith in others is a given, it is unconditional. When we seek connection, we give up win-loose games - we seek perspectives on situations that allows all of us to 'win'.....

Heart Leadership is all about living with integrity to which some would call it "walking the talk" - do what you say you'll do. In heart leadership it's more than that - integrity is a wholeness that encompasses out belief system on at such a deep level that it is impossible to split that which we believe from how we act. Integrity is believing, thinking, speaking and acting in alighnment with our personal values.....

Traditional Managers autopilot there way through business - particularily through their behaviours and decisions. They operate from assumptions and 'certainties' that haven't been challenged for a very long time.

It has been said by Nancy Anderson that "courage is not the absence of of fear: rather it is the ability to take action in th face of fear."
I have found that's what it's like in introducing heart/spiritual leadership within the workplace. When we recognise we don't live in 'little boxes' of work lives, community lives, lives as workers and employers and lives as parents, spouses or children. We live in one life where the same valu...

I believe that leading a spirit-respecting workplace is easier than managing a traditional organisation - it tends to take on a life of its own.
However, at the same time, leading this kind of workplace is also harder, particularily for those of us that are compelled to control the uncontrollable. (smile).
Most of us have clear ideas about what should happen and not happen in organisations and our reponsibilites as leaders within the...

For me work bridges the gap between the spiritual and the rational in each of us. A gap that is continualy looking for wholeness and completion.
Spirit is the fire within each and everyone of us that ignites us with passion, purpose, love, energy and courage. This fire lives in us and sets us alive and ablaze when we are near our work - not just our job or career but a personal calling or purpose that is spiritually and emotionally...

Spirituality, distinct from religion is a challenging topic because it can be a very importand part of religion in its pure form.
Respectfully discussing the spiritual nature of people without invading the realm of personal religious freedom or being perceived as been trying to convert someone to a sectarian religion is even more challenging.

I believe there are two paths of leadership - the path of fear and the path of Courage and Heart. Heart Leadership where people are connected though spirit, joy and passion in their work.
To follow the path of Heart Leadership takes courage it's where we challenge old assumptions that may keep us from discovering new posibilites. We look at similar situations and explore with others how it will be different this time. We balance the...
