Inclusive Spirituality for Managers is an invitation to rediscover depth, authenticity, and connection in the fast-paced world of management. Written by Kuruvilla Pandikattu SJ, it challenges managers to integrate spiritual wisdom into leadership, emphasizing that true success is not just about profit but about becoming whole. The book transcends religious boundaries, drawing from Hinduism, Buddhism, Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Sikhism, Jainism, tribal traditions, and secular humanism to offer a universal framework for ethical and soulful leadership. It explores spirituality as the art of living fully human-cultivating presence, compassion, and moral courage amidst professional demands. Through stories, reflections, and practices, it addresses themes like discernment, failure, suffering, and service, rooted in the Ignatian principle of "finding God in all things." The book emphasizes three core themes: depth (living beyond surface success), authenticity (being true to oneself), and interconnection (recognizing our shared humanity). Designed for managers, students, and professionals, it offers practical contemplative tools like the Examen, mindfulness, and journaling to foster clarity and resilience. Chapters blend ancient wisdom with modern psychology, quoting mystics, poets, and CEOs to illustrate how spirituality transforms workplaces into spaces of trust and justice. From the Hindu concept of nishkama karma (action without attachment) to the Buddhist practice of metta (loving-kindness), it shows how diverse traditions converge on universal values like compassion, truth, and reverence. The book speaks to the restlessness of today's professionals, addressing questions like "Is this all there is?" with an affirmative call to purpose, integrity, and community. It is not about escaping work but engaging it with soul-balancing ambition with humility, strategy with empathy. By embracing failure as growth, suffering as solidarity, and service as leadership, managers can create cultures that honor both people and planet. This is a guide for those who seek to lead not just with skill, but with spirit, making their work a sacred act of becoming human.
