About this title

Synopsis

"Rediscovering" the soul in business means to reclaim what was once an essential part of being human. Soulful work is the quintessential human experience, embodying the spirit, the pathos, the successes and the losses associated with productive labor. Rediscovering the soul does not mean adding a new spin to the traditional management approach - using it as a tool to get workers to be more productive. It does mean providing a hospitable environment for the complete human experience, so that people can have a reunion with those parts of themselves that have been disenfranchised as a result of scientific management and the command and control style of the past generations.
This book is not intended to provide yet another management model, nor to serve as fodder for the gossip mill of "what's hot and what's not." It is intended to be a wake up call to industry and to the complete human being who invests a significant part of his/her energy in the community of the workplace.
