Interviews with Well-Practiced Preachers

Abstract

ABSTRACT There is a workplace spirituality movement that is astir. Yet many managers may have been skeptical about its rightful place in that setting. This piece is written as a means to explore the relationship of spirituality to a workplace mainstay - leadership. This paper constitutes a transcript of interviews with four individuals who are each well practiced in the role of spiritual leadership. They are ministers who were each asked to explore the complex connections between spirituality, leadership, and the workplace. Finally, insights useful for both research and practice are offered based upon this dialogue.
