CAN BUSINESS GOALS, ETHICS, GLOBAL RESPONSIBILITY AND SPIRITUALITY BE COMPATIBLE?

YES! says Peabody author Nancy Smith

Peabody, MA—Nancy R. Smith, author of Workplace Spirituality: A Complete Guide for Business Leaders believes that these elements are not only compatible but essential to a whole, spiritually friendly workplace.

“I was seeing books about workplace spirituality that focused only on the individual or on interpersonal relationships at the workplace.” says Smith. “Books that dealt with business ethics and corporate scandals didn’t mention spirituality. Other books focused only on global corporate social responsibility. I didn’t see any book that brought all of this together. So I wrote Workplace Spirituality: A Complete Guide for Business Leaders, the first book that presents workplace spirituality as personally meaningful and spiritually diverse, while also emphasizing the essentials of both business ethics and corporate social responsibility.”

The book also includes the kinds of specific behaviors that result from personal spiritual characteristics and presents specific ways that any worker can be a leader in making a workplace spiritually friendly.

Stephen Mott, author of A Christian Perspective on Political Thought and Biblical Ethics and Social Change and former Professor of Christian Social Ethics at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, praises Smith’s book as an “up–to–date coverage of recent writings [that] gives the reader a comprehensive introduction to important writings in the field. Her wholistic understanding of what the spiritual is means that she not only covers relating to the Mystery at the center of life, but also our corresponding response in our ethical relationships both in the workplace and in the national and global relationships that are affected by the workplace.”

Smith’s experience includes 20 years as a technical writer and manager, along with extensive experience in ministry, teaching, and spiritual coaching and direction. For the past several years she has researched issues related to spirituality in the workplace and maintained the website www.WorkplaceSpirituality.info.
