Spiritual Capital by Danah Zohar and I.N. Marshall
Danah Zohar and Ian Marshall envisage two scenarios. The first is business as we know it today – all short-term gain, isolationist thinking, with the material bottom line as king. The second envisages a business culture driven by fundamental values and a deep sense of purpose in which wealth is accumulated to generate a decent profit while acting to raise the common good. The crucial question, which Zohar and Marshall address, is: How we can move from one scenario to the other? They show how we need to consider three types of capital to make the leap. Rational intelligence (IQ) and Emotional Intelligence (EQ) are needed to diagnose the current state, and then Spiritual Intelligence (SQ) can be used to bring about the final transformation.
