The Corporate Mystic

Going a step further into the unknown, Gay Hendricks and Kate Ludeman, authors of The Corporate Mystic, assert that corporations and organizations are full of spiritual mystics. The authors propose that “successful corporate leaders of the twenty-first century will be spiritual leaders.”[i]

When I read this, I thought it was a little too new-agey for me. I thought that mystics belonged in a monastery or cathedral not a modern day organization. The authors propose that corporate mystics are fundamental leaders who “operate from a base of integrity, pursue their vision, and inspire the entire organization to reflect the vision.”
