Context

The current crisis of public leadership, global governance and business integrity is degrading citizens, consumers and investors’ confidence, seriously affecting prospects of a better world in many countries. We are at a breaking point in people’ respect for our higher-placed leaders and key institutions. At the same time, countless entrepreneurs, change agents, investors and people of goodwill are pioneering innovative enterprising solutions to the challenges of prosperity for all. Could we be at the cusp of a renaissance in values, vision and actions that opens an era of unprecedented creativity and wellbeing ?

Spirit in Business is for business people who care.

What is "spirit" ?

Some definitions:

"The intelligent, non-physical part of a person: the soul".

"A person's mental or moral nature or qualities".

"Courage, energy, vivacity, dash".

In German, "spirit" is Geist, the vital animating essence of a person.

"The source, the element from which all depends".

"An animating or vital principle held to give life to physical organisms".

"In a business WITH spirit, there is a sense of the responsibility for the whole not limited to short-term issues but to the longer-term, wider, good; there are no separate kingdoms; there are clear aligned directions and focus; there are clear communication structures with each responsibility being well defined and known by those involved; there are clear consequences for actions, possibility is possible and resignation is resolved; people are well both mentally and consequently physically; they are taking care of each other; everyone thrives in his/her creativity and talents; people honour their word". Michael Walleczek, Walleczek & Partners, Austria

"Companies with spirit. The essence of the human is there, alive, pulsating in a manner that is natural, genuine, an invisible, intangible essence, not expressed in systems, technologies, or techniques, but an essence that is felt by collaborators, by suppliers, by clients. It is something that is in the environment, in the "climate," in the company atmosphere, in all that is done, said, even thought: individuals with constructive attitudes, with a genuine interest in being helpful, in serving, in contributing to clients and to all who, directly or indirectly, will use the products and services generated". Oscar Motomura, Amana-Key, Brazil.
