Spiritual Leadership in Action: The CEL Story is designed for thoughtful leaders working in the
complexity and messiness of their daily organizational lives. It is a book first and foremost
about people, about the ways they find purpose, creativity and meaning in their professional
work; how they thrive in community and fulfill their deep desire to be of service to others
against seemingly impossible odds and limitations. A study of how full human potential and
creativity is released, how the spirit within, and without, can be experienced and manifested. It
is also story of ordinary people achieving extraordinary results, individually and collectively; of
people becoming more than they thought was possible; and having fun along the way.
This is a practical book with reflections, legacy and "lessons learnt" to support and guide busy leaders who are looking for wisdom
and to learn from the experiences and mistakes of others. Spiritual Leadership in Action: The CEL Story is the result of serious and rigorous
academic research. It is a case study containing features, dilemmas and opportunities facing all leaders today. A leadership narrative
of a professional community who learned to live and work together with respect and harmony. It is also the story of a CEO
leader and the integration of her spiritual yearning and fulfillment manifested through her professional vocation and calling.
