"Spiritual Leadership, A Calling" - “Connections Radio: Awakening oneness within us all” with co-hosts Dr. Jordan Paul and Cynthia James presents an illuminating interview with Dr. Roger Teel about Spiritual Leadership. Since we are all leaders at times, Dr. Teel's message gives us powerful insights into becoming more effective leaders.

Anytime we have something that others need or want we have power over them and can use that power to get things accomplished and/or get what we want. Teachers have such power with their students, parents with their children, spouses with each other, gurus with their followers and bosses with their employees.

Spiritual Leadership begins with being connected to our oneness. When in this state we find ways to accomplish our tasks and goals without compromising the integrity of anyone or anything. The result is that our constituents are empowered and relationships of trust, caring and closeness are built.

Dr. Teel presents his message with the deep humility of sharing the challenges he has/is facing in his personal journey to overcoming the ego and staying connected to his authentic self. He provides many useful ideas for helping each of us progress in our personal journey.
