					<description>I read that article Mar. It is a good one. I so appreciate the fact that she is concerned with the spiritual health, the well-being, the integrity of people. Her claim, rightly so, is that productivity, as well as other things, is a sign of how healthy people are. Like, say, sex... better sex in a loving relationship can be a sign of the health of the relationship. But when the health of the relationship is demanded in order to have better sex, the human spirit resists it because it is a utilitarian and manipulative approach.</description>

					<description>i have the great good fortune to work in a non-profit world where working for conservation allows me to fulfill many spiritual interests and directions- supporting a threatened species and involving different people in that process. Luckily, the grants we receive permit creation of programs that can effect these things- I can't imagine being in a workplace where I had to check my spirit at the door.</description>

					<description>So David,

What are the true dangers of spirituality in the workplace?  What if the end that the employer has in mind is increased productivity but the means is healthier relationships?

Meg Wheatley on leadership and spirituality says "Effective leaderdhip begins with attention to the quality of your relationships.  One of the things that I've learned in the poorest places on earth is that when people have each other, that's enough. ... And when we're in an organization and dealing with uncertainty, it's an opportunity to realize that we get through uncertainty not with our plans and strategies, but because we have trusint relationships and we know how to work together."</description>
