Leading with Soul

Leading with Soul tells a story --  a parable of a manager whose successful career has 
collided with a spiritual wall.  As he grapples with an unfamiliar set of challenges, he 
encounters a remarkable mentor who suggests that he needs to deepen his journey and 
to explore issues of soul and spirit.    Click here for foreign-language versions of Leading

Introduction

All day I think about it, then at night I say it.

Where did I come from, and what am I supposed to be doing?

I have no idea.

My soul is from elsewhere, I'm sure of that,

and I intend to end up there.
