Spiritual Capital
Spiritual capital is the wealth or power an individual or organization has, based on their deepest meanings, values, and purposes, and is reflected in beliefs, aspirations,and responsibility. We build spiritual capital by asking spiritually intelligent questions, such as what does it mean to be a human being? If we individually and collectively take responsibility for our common aspirations, then our communities will exist with organic synthesis and symmetry. If we don't know why we exist or we exist just to make a profit, it means we are caught up in our immediate goals, our short-term thinking, our indiviidual wants. Spiritual capital, if it's low, can tear a collaboration to pieces. Spiritual capital, if it's high, is the glue that holds it together.
