In current competitive business environment , faith plays a major role in shaping up leadership qualities through spiritual interventions.Classical definition of Faith is the affirmation of belief, without any practical or logical evidence. The realm of Faith starts, when we venture into the space beyond evidence or logic.
Now ,if you look at religious interpretations:
In Christianity, Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things unseen.
In Hinduism, Faith means unshaken belief and purity of thought and it is recognized as a virtue.
In chapter 17 of the Bhagavad Gita, Krishna mentions the three types of faith:
1.Faith rooted in Sattva
Those with sattvic faith are said to worship the GOD.
2.Faith rooted in Rajas
Those with Rajasic faith are said to worship Demons.
3.Faith rooted in Tamas
Those with tamasic faith are said to worship Ghosts and Spirits.
Faith in Buddhism refers to a sense of conviction, regarding setting a goal and the determination to accomplish it, while drawing a sense of joy and also live by what is learnt and accepted, rather than believing something outright.
Faith in Islam is called Iman and it signifies an instinct of the human soul, refined through upbringing into specific religious or spiritual paths.
Even Scientific discovery begins with a scientist's faith that an unknown discovery is possible requiring a passionate commitment. However , this faith is based on a set of assumptions and extrapolation of the fundamental truth towards a predictable conclusion but without any idea about the nature of final outcome.
All these above interpretations are strickingly similar, clearly confirming a decisive role of spirituality in defining the degree conviction and the extent of determination of the Leadership to achieve the ultimate business objective.
