Enlightened and Spirited leaders seek to turn their organizations\n"; print "into \"Sanctuaries\" - places of serenity, inspiration, love and\n"; print "personal development that beckon to each of us because they speak\n"; print "directly to the needs of the Soul.

WE ARE AGENTS OF POSITIVE CHANGE:\n"; print "Organizations are more than vehicles for providing jobs and\n"; print "profits. They are one of the most elegant forms ever designed for\n"; print "us all to make a sacred contribution to each other and the planet.\n"; print "Organizations are interdependent, life-affirming members of local\n"; print "and global communities acting as instruments of positive social\n"; print "change and spiritual renewal.

OUR WORK INSPIRES:\n"; print "People come to work each day for more than just the money. They\n"; print "come to create friendships, to learn, to have fun - in short,\n"; print "they yearn for an uplifting experience. Therefore we must ask,\n"; print "\"Does my work, together with my actions and words, inspire my\n"; print "Soul and the Souls of others?\" Corporate leaders today\n"; print "therefore, are being called upon to be more than just the\n"; print "custodians of corporate financial performance.

WE TREAT ALL BEINGS AS SACRED:\n"; print "In order to embrace the concepts of service and quality we must\n"; print "first respect, trust, and love our employees, customers, suppliers\n"; print "and our fragile eco-system. The soul pursues values that respect\n"; print "the sacredness of everything, including humans. The soul reveres\n"; print "the truth and honors promises. The soul embodies a continuous\n"; print "state of grace, rejecting violence and competition and celebrating\n"; print "harmony, cooperation, sharing and reverence for life, because it\n"; print "sees the sacredness of all people, including employees, customers\n"; print "and suppliers. This is our inner work, and we will receive the\n"; print "outer rewards after we do our inner work.

OUR PROFITS ARE HONORABLE:\n"; print "Profit is measured two ways: by calculating the financial returns\n"; print "derived from our efforts, and by measuring how much we have\n"; print "inspired the Soul. Material spiritualism degrades; spiritual\n"; print "materialism blesses. Profits are like oxygen - essential for our\n"; print "survival, but not the reason for our existence.

OUR WORK IS OUR SPIRITUAL PRACTICE:\n"; print "It is just as important to ask, \"How can I make this a Soulful\n"; print "task?\" as it is to ask, \"How do I make my budget?\" If we love\n"; print "what we do (Mastery), love the people with whom we do it\n"; print "(Chemistry), and love the reason for doing it (Delivery), work\n"; print "will become our spiritual practice.

The object of our work is to inspire the Soul.

OUR VALUES DETERMINE OUR STRATEGY:\n"; print "In a Sanctuary, the old fashioned myth of goal-centered, rugged\n"; print "individualism and heroic leadership has been replaced by a more\n"; print "inclusive set of values, emphasizing what is good for you and\n"; print "your soul as well as what is good for me and mine. Great\n"; print "strategies depend on noble values and from noble values, great\n"; print "organizations are born. The means is as important as the\n"; print "ends.

OUR LEADERS SERVE:\n"; print "Great leaders reject the fearsome clichés of war, violence\n"; print "and intimidation. Instead, they are dedicated to serving their\n"; print "followers by practicing the qualities and wisdom of the great\n"; print "spiritual leaders, mystics and philosophers. They balance the\n"; print "feminine and masculine energies.

OUR WORK IS FUN:\n"; print "Sanctuaries nourish the soul with a sense of play. Spontaneity,\n"; print "dynamism, fun, festivity, celebration, laughter, humor and\n"; print "freedom from fear of failure are essential components of a\n"; print "joyful workplace. Enlightened leaders create Sanctuaries by\n"; print "removing fear and replacing it with passion and joy in the\n"; print "workplace. When we love what we do, we do it well, because it is\n"; print "joyful and fun. This engages and liberates the Soul. Then work is\n"; print "fun.

LOVE IS THE HEART OF OUR WORK:\n"; print "Love and fear are at opposite ends of a continuum; love heals;\n"; print "competition harms. The shadow of fear retreats when the light of\n"; print "love is shined upon it. In Sanctuaries, leaders have learned that\n"; print "everyone wants more love - not fear - in their lives. They use\n"; print "great courage in admitting and applying this concept. Members\n"; print "of a Sanctuary let their Souls fly and have learned to do so\n"; print "safely. They assume the responsibility for helping each other to\n"; print "do the same.

LEARNING FUELS OUR SOULS:\n"; print "Learning means, \"Seeking and practicing knowledge and wisdom\"\n"; print "and learning leads to Mastery. But Mastery is never perfect, just\n"; print "as there is no perfect knowledge or wisdom. Mastery is always\n"; print "incomplete and so continuous learning - that is, life-long\n"; print "learning - is essential if continuous Mastery is to flourish in\n"; print "all areas of our work and personal lives. If Mastery is chopping\n"; print "wood, then Learning is sharpening the ax and we must pause from\n"; print "time to time to sharpen the ax in order to chop wood.

WE START ALL CHANGE FROM WITHIN – ONE PERSON AT A TIME:\n"; print "The difference between whether an organization is mediocre or\n"; print "superb is determined by whether all its individual members are\n"; print "mediocre or superb.

WE CREATE BEAUTIFUL SURROUNDINGS THAT INSPIRE THE SOUL:\n"; print "We love and respect Sanctuaries, treating them as beautiful\n"; print "Soulspaces and thus permitting the beauty of our physical\n"; print "environment to nourish the soul.

WE BALANCE WORK WITH LIFE:\n"; print "Sanctuaries are designed to balance our material and spiritual\n"; print "aspirations and integrate them into the larger and longer-term\n"; print "picture - our lives and Souls depend on it.

WE LIVE AND WORK AUTHENTICALLY:\n"; print "Before we can communicate effectively, we must communicate\n"; print "authentically. We are people and Souls, not functions. We become\n"; print "authentic by revealing our humanness to each other and by telling\n"; print "the truth and keeping our promises. Thus we become open and real.\n"; print "In becoming authentic we build relationships that inspire each\n"; print "other and our customers and suppliers.
