Sairam Sisters and Brothers,

We will continue to listen from Andrè L. Delbecq, Director - Institute for

Spirituality and Organisation Leadership, J. Thomas and Kathleen L. McCarthy

University Professor, Santa Clara University, Alameda, CA, USA

---

"That the spiritual can be integrated with (is not separate from) the secular is

an important affirmation for the MBA students and executives who spend time with

me at Santa Clara University. They begin to understand with greater certitude

that it is in the "now" of the everyday-ness of their leadership efforts that

the spiritual journey is lived and unfolds (if being an organisational leader

is their vocational calling). The spiritual journey is engaged as they struggle

with their daily tasks including the boring, the mundane, the frustrating, the

agonising, and the rewarding.

It is wonderful to watch their increased inner peace even when they have a day

that in the past they would have considered to be a day of misery. They develop

the capacity to see that even struggles have meaning. They find that there is

something to learn in every moment, and by remaining in touch with their inner

peace even during trials, they are able to bring a different presence to the

challenges. They know all too well that without spiritual awareness such

challenges would lead to burnout and dysfunction. So spirituality is no longer

a separate part of their lives; it is no longer peripheral to their

leadership."
