"Whatever else one might say about leading, at its core it is a matter of the heart and a reflection of the most basic elements of human nature. Spirit at Work offers an exciting, creative, and hopeful view of leadership that gives the spiritual dimension its rightful place." —Walter F. Ulmer, president, Center for Creative Leadership "An important book on an aspect of leadership little discussed and not easily articulated. Leaders will be grateful to Jay Conger and his distinguished group of authors for illuminating this critical componentthe spirituality of leadership--and inviting us to join in the search for 'shared ground.'" —Frances Hesselbein, president and CEO, the Peter F. Drucker Foundation
