Today's organizational environment is characterized by high levels
of cross-cultural, cross-national, and cross-religious
communication, conflict, collaboration, and commerce. This
environment produces myriad encounters between individuals who
embrace different ideologies, religions and spiritual practices. As
such, unanswered (and even unasked) questions about management,
spirituality, and religion abound. This book, seeks to advance our
understanding by asking the big questions. Blessed are Those Who
Ask the Questions: What Should We be Asking About Management,
Spirituality, and Religion in Organizations? is intended to be
provocative in nature. Its chapters address novel ways that
leadership, organizations, and organizational stakeholders mutually
impact each other by their similarities and differences in
religious, spiritual, and ideological traditions, cultures, and
practices. Interdisciplinary in nature and firmly grounded in
scholarly literature, this book identifies and maps out bold new
trajectories for advancing the study of management spirituality,
and religion (including but going far beyond Western, Christian
conceptualizations of religion). Sometimes universal, sometimes
quite specific, this volume identifies unexplored, underexplored,
or unresolved issues in the field and proposes new streams of
research. Diverse conceptual, empirical, theoretical, and critical
treatments that honor a variety of inquiry styles and research
methods push the boundaries of MSR research.
Evaluating Current Approaches to Leadership This book offers a
comprehensive evaluation of current approaches to leadership from a
discerning Christian perspective. Combining expertise in
leadership, theology, and ministry, the authors take a historical
look at leadership and how it is viewed and used in today's
context. The book is informed by both biblical and leadership
studies scholarship and interacts with a number of popular
marketplace writings on leadership. It also evaluates exemplary
role models of Christian leadership. The second edition has been
updated and revised throughout.
