I am intrigued by the Humanist in leadership that I have started noticing post the KM India, where I heard and met so many leaders with a spiritual inclination.  Never ever thought these two triats went together. I attribute this to the Rationalist environment that I have been in all the time. Productivity Productivity and yet again deliver value! Are Intangible values so fuzzy for the leadership to be comfortable? I was completely swept by this post by Umair and am compulsively sharing it here. A friend and me agreed he is the new Peter Senge! Keep a watch!

While we do it also lets do a bit of a self assessment where do we stand as an organization? What are our goals? Is it time for us to re-calibrate our vision?
