Building a Leadership Culture as an Engine of the Intellectual Capital of Nations and Organizations
摘要
This chapter discusses how the ten dimensions of our spirituality build a leadership culture and how both these dimensions and leadership culture maximize what Leif Edvinsson describes as the intellectual capital (IC) of nations and organizations, their human, social, process, and renewal capital, which help in promoting economic growth, social justice, organizational success, and social well-being. This chapter presents a new interdisciplinary framework that relies on the intuition of IC as the backbone to connect political economy, strategic management, cultures, leadership, philosophy, and spirituality. Our spirituality builds our capacity to perceive phenomena; build our consciousness, knowledge, relationships, ideals, and values; and reinforce human and social capital, which are pillars of IC. Our spirituality promotes inspiration and creation, reinforcing renewal capital, a pillar of IC. Our spirituality is an engine of leadership in every person and society, generating transcendence, a vision of the future, a mission, and stronger relationships, building communities that promote continuous individual and social transformation processes, and building IC.
