Conversations about meaning and purpose at work are very old and very new. Spirituality provides a lens for those discussions. Workplace spirituality helps us understand issues such as fulfillment, engagement, purpose, leadership and more. However, it also increases worries about values conflicts and how well organizations handle that. Paul Gibbons joins Maureen to discuss the spirituality of work and leadership for leaders and organizations.
