Description This article examines Pope Francis’ encyclical letter, Laudato si’, from the perspective of a spirituality of presence, which it relates to resiliency, or the ability of organizations to respond to current or emerging crises. This spirituality consists of two dimensions: the prophetic and the contemplative. This article explores both dimensions and demonstrates their application in a business context. In addition, an important part of a spirituality of presence is Sabbath, which allows for the rest and re-centering of the individual and organization. Once “frenetic activity” ceases, both the leader and the organization can begin the work of anticipating, preparing for, and responding to crises. The focus of this article, therefore, is on the person of the business leader and how he or she might prepare for resiliency individually and then lead an organization through a crisis. The particular crisis the article is concerned with is environmental deterioration as treated in the papal encyclical.
Este artículo examina Laudato si’, la encíclica del Papa Francisco, desde la perspectiva de una espiritualidad de presencia relacionada a la resiliencia, es decir, la capacidad de las organizaciones de responder a las crisis actuales y emergentes. Esta espiritualidad consiste en dos dimensiones: la profética y la contemplativa. El artículo explora las dos dimensiones y demuestra su uso en un contexto empresarial. Además, un aspecto importante de una espiritualidad de presencia es el día del Sabbat, que permite al individuo y a la organización a descansar y reenfocarse. Una vez terminada la actividad “frenética”, tanto el líder como la organización pueden empezar el trabajo de anticipar, prepararse para las crisis y responder a las mismas. Este artículo, por tanto, se centra en la figura del líder de negocio y cómo podrá prepararse a ser resistente y guiar una organización durante una crisis. Se trata específicamente de la crisis del deterioro del medio ambiente tal como se menciona en la encíclica.
