How Workplace Spirituality Impacts The Triple Bottom Line

A short synopsis of Workplace Spirituality and its impact on organizational commitment, profit, and sustainability.

Maximizing the Triple Bottom Line Through Spiritual Leadership



Spiritual Leadership is focused on satisfying two universal spiritual needs at work for all organizations. The first is the universal need for a sense of calling or purpose – that our life has meaning and makes a difference. The second is the need for a sense of membership or belonging in a loving community, whereby we feel understood and appreciated for who we are, just as we are.

The question then becomes, “what does this leadership look like, and how does it move organizations from an obsessive focus on profit to the detriment of the socially disenfranchised and the planet to leaders who are passionate about sustainability and maximizing the triple bottom line?”

We also offer the Global Leadership for Sustainability model (GLfS), which is built upon the spiritual leadership model, that is specifically focused on organizations dedicated to sustainable development and the triple bottom line. GLfS is inspired by the beliefs:

That leaders and their organizations should have a higher purpose beyond enriching themselves and financial stakeholders.
That in addition to economic success, leaders have responsibility for the well-being of employees, their communities, the socially disenfranchised, and the earth we all inhabit – the triple bottom line or people, planet, and profit.
That we should all leave, as part of our legacy, a sustainable, flourishing world for our children, grandchildren, and future generations to come.
