Spirituality in business...

I have been on a fascinating learning path in recent months that has led me to many interesting people. Today, I visited over lunch with Grant Marquit from Enterprise Development Inc. (EDI) at Case Western Reserve University.

Grant and I talked about many things, but one thing worthy of note is that the role of spirituality in business in growing. Both of us acknowledged the sensitivity required in making this connection, but we agreed that leaders of small and large companies alike were looking for "appropriate" ways to advance the spiritual basis of business.

In our own ways, Grant and I have been trying to do that. So have many others, including Richard Boyatzis and David Cooperrider in CWRU's Weatherhead School of Management.

On a national level, groups like the World Business Academy, and the Institute for Noetic Sciences, are forging ties between spirituality and business.

Grant, thanks for the fascinating conversation.
