Many of us would agree that today’s business environment requires a new kind of leader, one with empathy and flexibility. Is it possible to be a successful leader and a compassionate human being, or to balance your personal life with work? CEO Jim Blake says not only is it possible but it’s the key to effective leadership.

But how do you bring this sort of clarity and vision to your business? In his new book, The Zen Executive: Gems of Wisdom for Enlightened Leadership, Jim Blake looks at practical spirituality as the foundation for good leadership.

Drawing from his experience as CEO of the 130-year-old spiritual non-profit, Unity World Headquarters, and a lifetime of corporate leadership, Jim joins Sister Jenna to discuss how to lead teams, companies, and communities, while maintaining alignment with your principles and integrity.
