Abstract

If you want to integrate spirituality and work, you must begin with yourself and your own spirituality. This is self-focused work you will need to do for the rest of your life. The two key elements are (1) to become perfectly clear about your most cherished guiding values and (2) to maintain and deepen some kind of daily spiritual practice. The beautiful thing about this work is that you have an incredible partner. You may call that partner God, the Transcendent, Allah, the Allness, Higher Self, Christ-Consciousness, or one of a thousand other names, but it is impossible to implement faith and spirit at work without some kind of connection to something greater than yourself (Ouimet 2010). You can implement spirit at work as a private, individual undertaking, or you may decide over time that you want to implement some of these values and practices as part of your leadership development, your teamwork, or as part of a major cultural change throughout the whole system. But this kind of transformational work is too difficult to do without calling upon powerful, transcendent resources.
