- catalog abstract ""There is more to work and the life of the organization than just numbers. In his new book on how people function in work settings, Seth Allcorn refers to this intangible aspect as the human spirit. It too contributes to the life and performance of organizations, but like life itself it can die - or be killed. He argues that changes in how organizations are managed - how they change through downsizing, rightsizing, reengineering and other catastrophic means - can have an unintended but devastating result: spiritual death, the end of that quality in people that keeps them alive, growing, and productive. Dr. Allcorn shows that management and the methods it uses to cope with organizational change must be adjusted to take into account a special kind of workplace spirituality and to nurture it, not destroy it. Indeed, he maintains that by appreciating the importance of the human spirit, and liberating the quality of spirituality into the workplace, benefits to the organization can be profoundly rewarding. And there are practical, measurable results to be had by doing it. He explains them and documents his assertions in heart-breaking detail, in a book that even the most tough-minded executive will soon come to consider as essential as a spreadsheet."--Jacket.".
