The Corporate Mystic: A Guidebook for Visionaries With Their Feet on the Ground

by Gay Hendricks, Kate Ludeman

 

The authors of this wise little book have been consultants to corporations for 25 years. From their experience working with some 800 executives, they deduce that the corporate leaders of the 21st century will be spiritual masters ("corporate mystics"), and that already boardrooms are replete with mystics who are in on the secret that organizations are collective embodiments of spirit. In business for their heart and soul as well as for their wallet, they have beaten back the fear that robs the less hardy of their authenticity. With their ability to focus easily and non-dogmatically on the task at hand, these "visionaries with their feet on the ground" are also problem solvers who inspire commitment, speak plainly, listen well, manage projects and create wealth. Wealth begins in the human soul, the authors say as they expound on powers of positive thinking, and at this point the book becomes a how-to manual culminating in four 10-minute exercises for attaining wisdom-producing qualities of mysticism.

A powerful little book.  Many of you may be familiar with one or more of Hendricks’ other books – Conscious Living, Conscious Loving, The Conscious Heart. These are great resources if you want more information about Hendrick’s perspective on life.
