Beschreibung
This open access book brings together works by specialists from different disciplines and continents to reflect on the nexus between leadership, spirituality and discernment, particularly with regard to a world that is increasingly volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (VUCA). The book spells out, first of all, what our VUCA world entails, and how it affects businesses, organizations, and societies as a whole. Secondly, the book develops new perspectives on the processes of leadership, spirituality, and discernment, particularly in this VUCA context. These perspectives are interdisciplinary in nature, and are informed by e.g. management studies, leadership theory, philosophy, and theology.

“Few would dispute Editors Jacobus (Kobus) Kok and Steven van den Heuvel’s first sentence that “we live in a particularly revolutionary time.” This in and of itself begs the question of whether our current leadership models are up for this task and, if not, what fundamental quality is missing that leaders must embrace for them, their organizations, and the planet to flourish. Although spiritual leadership has emerged as a field of scholarly inquiry within the last twenty years, missing is investigation of the role discernment may play in enabling leaders to draw on deeper levels of consciousness for the peace and serenity needed to be the eye in the VUCA hurricane. I view this work as the beginning of what I’m sure will be a long and winding pilgrimage of inner discovery for leaders willing to embrace the journey.” (Prof. Dr. Louis W. (Jody) Fry, Texas A&M University, USA)
