Spiritlinking Leadership: Working Through Resistance to Organizational Change

Spiritlinking, the author's original term, refers to a new way of interacting with others. Emphasizing relationships, spiritlinking affirms each individual as an expression of the energy, wisdom, spirit and culture of the group. The results of this dynamic new approach to leadership are many. Spiritlinking helps foster new ideas and service, greater productivity, a more harmonious sense of community, a way to work through resistance to change, and a deeper sense of meaning in one's work. Integrating spirituality, psychology, and extensive leadership experience, these strategies help leaders at all levels of all kinds of organizations. This important book identifies the symptoms of resistance to change, tells how to bridge factions and promote community, shows how to provide healthy leadership--and reveals how to keep it healthy. Examples, charts, practical information, and probing questions help apply the strategies to one's own situation. Of far-reaching applicability, this is concrete help for leaders in any situation--from secular businesses to churches, synagogues, and religious orders. Schools, healthcare facilities, and other organizations can be revitalized by the book. It's also useful for small-group leaders, youth ministers, and chaplains.
