Leadership has long ceased to be solely about strategy, targets, and organizational structures. More and more leaders and researchers recognize that sustainable and effective leadership begins with the inner self: with values, inspiration, consciousness, and connection. Spirituality – in the broad sense of the word – plays an increasingly important role in this.

But what exactly does spirituality mean in a business context? And how do you translate it into the daily practice of leadership? On this page, we explore these questions from multiple perspectives: from Benedictine wisdom and Taoist philosophy to mindfulness, intuitive leadership, and 'business spirituality'. We do this using leading books and articles written by authors who asked themselves these questions and found answers. Watch here.
