As an organizational leader, what kicks you awake at odd hours of the night?
Most leaders I have interviewed would refer to some kind of capital shortage. The shortfall could be economic capital. Or maybe social capital. Or it could be attention shortages. Or it could be shortfalls of information capital or cultural capital or (save us all) human capital.
What if I said that your organization and community already have plenty of all these kinds of capital, but that they go unnoticed for lack of spiritual capital?
These podcasts explore spiritual capital as the vital capability of recognizing and animating latent resources in organizational life and leadership.

I have been researching business activism for more than a decade, writing essays and books on corporate social responsibility, social enterprise, and organizational communication.
But encounters with communities and entrepreneurs of color have recently cued me to look for spiritual capital.
I wrote Why Spirtual Capital Matters and run this podcast out of the conviction that business-minded activists in neighborhoods like those on the south and west side of Chicago, in the Over the Rhine neighborhood of Cincinnati, and in West Baltimore, are cueing others to see and to circulate latent capital.
