you? List on a ipchart colleagues suggesons about honour-
ing dignity in the worthplace more deliberately.
3. Subjecvity: what would it look like in your place
of work to shi everyones focus more deliberately to the
viewpoint that employees are uerly special because they
each have an inner awareness, an interiority, that gives them a
presence to their very own self? How many other colleagues
can idenfy with that personalist quality? How would col-leagues enable and nourish such a quality at work? Are they
aware that enabling and nourishing such personalist qualies is
at the heart of ethics? That it is a perspecve that must rst be
lived personally and then lived at work to bring a worthplace
to birth?
4. Self-Determinaon: what would it look like in your
place of work or to shi everyones focus more deliberately
to the viewpoint that employees, being spiritual individuals
(the I quality), need to be free to be creave, to have deep
experiences of self-mastery and freedom in their work as an
ethical prerequisite? Do they experience such moments now?
Describe how, or why not? What is your experience of yourcolleagues who do experience this personalist quality of self-
determinaon at work? Give examples of the kinds of work
they do? If not, why not?
5. Relaonality: what would it look like in your place of
work to shi or to shi everyones focus more deliberately to
the viewpoint that employees, to be healthy, must feel that a
true sense of belongingness exists in the workplace? Does your
workplace foster Maslows need for belonging, not simply per-
sonally, but communally? Does your workplace oer a genuine
amount of self-fulllment and that employees needs as social
beings are honoured and respected? As you ponder this per-
sonalist ethic for your workplace, how successful do you think
your workplace has been up to this point? Is it a place where
people are accepted for who they are and that they can make
genuine contribuons? Is your workplace a genuinely healthy
environment emoonally, intellectually, spiritually within
which to work?
If one were to provide you with a Personalist Ethics Ther -
mometer, with a potenal reading of 0 to 10, how do you
rate your workplace? a 7? a 3? a 9? For many, such a
portrayal as I have presented of the Worthplace may simply
be a pipe dream. I dont believe it is. It does mean ongoing and
daily work and commitment to enacng the dream in pracce.Keep in mind that the theme of Olympic values (excellence,
friendship, and respect) has one emphac sentence: The
ame must never go out. In agreement with business writer,
Tim Leberecht, business needs to be not only transaconal
but must include the transcendent, emoons, engagement,
the relaonal, passion and that, like the Olympics, must leave
space for our imaginaon [and for] wanng more for the
unknown. Yes, the ame must never go out! How capable are
you of dreaming? Dr. Judith Orlo, MD, a psychiatrist, intuive
healer, and New York Times bestselling author, writes that the
Kalahari Bushmen (or !Kung Bushmen), oen considered to be
some of the most spiritual people on earth, hold to a spiritual-
ity that believes, There is a dream dreaming us. What is you
dream? Perhaps it might include a personalist ethic for the new
worthplace. Check it out. Again, Shakespeare helps us round
out our observaons and reminds us that at the end of the day
we really are mortal:
We are such stuAs dreams are made on; and our lile life
Is rounded with a sleep.
ENDNOTES
What I am doing in PART III is connuing the series of musing
if you will, on the structural elements that I believe are needed
in creang and growing a worthplace, a concept I invented
or, I should say, came to me in the early 1980s while I was out
for a jog one morning, I realized then that we want something
more not only personally but in our work lives. This somethin
more that I describe in the arcle is the search for othernessthat is intrinsic in each of us without excepon and oen calle
transcendence, that something or someone bigger than our
ego selves pulls us into a future worth going to. For many their
worlds are too small and hence also, personally and profession
ally, are too small as well. We are born to stretch!

Thus, a personalist ethic gives us a framework to consider our
human make-up. I use the word framework not as a set of
rules but in the sense of a reminder or what is oen de-
scribed by the monasc 6th century Rule of Benedict, a frame-
work that acts like a railing that we can use, for example, if
we are going downstairs. It gives us support; it helps balance
us and we feel more secure. Somemes in the midst of living
our day-to-day lives, we lose touch with some of the basic
components of what makes us ck, so to speak. This image ofpersonalist ethics as integral to building a worthplace reminds
us that certain necessary primary features of the human per-
son need to be in place.
In short, each of us is (1) unique because each of us is capable
of being disnguished from the rest of nature by our (poten-
al) ability to reason. I also realize that [h]uman excepon-
alism has dened most personalist thought. However, I do
reject Darwins claim that the only dierence between us,
nature and animals is one of degree but not of kind. We have
known for at least 2,500 years of philosophical thinking that it
is our ability to reason that sets us apart. This, to me, doesnt
nullify the fact that animals oen have more sense or know-
how than we do. For example, while living in southern Texas,
whenever the cale began mooing and kept this up day and
night for two weeks, that a hurricane or erce wind/rainstorm
was on its way. Dogs and cats can alert owners to potenal
dangers, etc. Its oen ironic and embarrassing that with such a
disnguishing intrinsic quality such as the ability to reason that
history is replete with zillions of unreasonable persons who
start wars, murder people, create mayhem, etc. In spite of this
incredible gi of reason that nature and life have endowed us
with, it is oen embarrassing to point that out.
As persons we are also due unreserved (2) dignity and respectand value simply by being persons. Having spent the beer
part of y years in the eld of human relaons only makes
me blush at how oen people and employees are treated
without a proper sense of dignity, as though they were simply
objects or another materialisc cog in the mechanisc ma-
chine call business bureaucracy. According to my account of
personalist ethics, such behaviour is unethical. Do you think
that the ruthless dictatorship of North Korea sees its cizens as
persons? From all accounts, without so honouring its cizens
as such, great evil is visited upon them.
A third personalist quality is what is called (3) subjecvity, that
is, we are aware of our very selves, our very subjecvity. Thisis because persons have an interior life, an interiority, an inner
sense and awareness of their I-ness. We are able to say, I
am, and be aware of this because of our existenally inbuilt
giedness of interiority. In many, many ways, when we ponder
such a personal gi, the spirit of gratude is all we can give
back. Life gives to us; our response can and should only be,
Thank you.
A fourth personalist characterisc is that of (4) self-determina-
on, that not only am I gied with self-awareness of being an
I but able to enjoy the fruits and lt of that subjecvely awar
I with gis of self-mastery and freedom. It becomes obvious
that when persons are unjustly blocked or bounded by a lack
of honouring their innate self-determinaon, a grave sense of
injusce rears its ugly head. We see this, sadly, in homes where
children are abused and their innate ability to construct their
imaginal worlds as they are growing up. They are denied their
God-given rights to self-mastery, learning as they go along,
grow, and blocked in their freedom to do so.
Finally, a personalist ethic recognizes the inherent and intrinsic
make-up of people as (5) relaonal, that is, each of us knows
intuively that as social beings, we nd fulllment and love in
community, in being with one another. The family construct
typies that perfectly. Being a community is dierent than bein
a team. A true community is aware of its members, cares abou
its members because persons experience love and acceptance.
A team may have members who like one another perhaps, but
its goal is more centred on task-compleon. A community is so
because it has deep roots in the intrinsic value of what a huma
being is all about.
Next I wish to provide praccal understandings that hopefully
will facilitate laying out how such a personalist ethic can be bui
into the workplace. The hope is that such a transposal will begi
changing workplaces into worthplaces. These personalist quali
es must become the basic ethic that embeds themselves in
our hearts and minds so that they become second nature in ou
acons. Assume that you are in charge of iniang this person-
alism project. Lets take each personalist quality one-by-one:
1. Uniqueness: what would it look like in your place of
work to shi or to shi everyones moral compass and ethical
focus more deliberately to the viewpoint that employees areabsolutely one-of-a-kind because of their personhood and thei
inbuilt gi from nature and life of the ability to reason? How
would employees consciousness change? That may be a stretc
for you when thinking of some colleagues but irrespecve of
your personal reservaons or biases, assume you could get be-
yond them and begin to ask that each employee see themselve
as unique but also to see others that way as well. A simple exe
cise asking them to list their talents and skills and unique piece
of who they believe they are can be a huge start. Ask them to
go back in me to those memories where they were treated as
special (in the best sense of this term) just because they were
persons. List on a ipchart peoples responses or reacons to
how and why they feel unique.
2. Dignity: what would it look like in your place of work t
shi everyones focus more deliberately to the viewpoint that
employees are of worth, that they are worthwhile just because
they are persons? If it is not too intrusive, for those who dont
feel a sense of worth, can you ask them why? Is it a psychologi-
cal problem, e.g., suering from depression, or is it because of
the way people and manager(s) treat them? What would allow
them to feel more worthwhile? Are you and your colleagues
able to envision yourselves as worthy of dignity just by being

have called being ex-centric, that is, persons by birth are natu-
rally called to transcend themselves for fullness of humanness.
Not cooperang with this lt to transcendence leaves a person
a selsh individual. We described this experience as spiritual-
ity that is, the human spirit, fully engaged and we described
the soul as the lived manifestaon of spirituality in each of
us. Further our soul is the way that emoonal and relaonal
depth is lived out and the way that yearnings for development
or evoluon are given space. Spirituality, therefore, is a verb innouns clothing. The soul is how the human spirit, fully en-
gaged, becomes concrete in the real world.
This same reaching out or going beyond is what the work-
place must acknowledge, embrace and live in order to be trans-
formed into a worthplace. A sense of transcendence allows
dierences to recede and true business issues to be present
in clear relief. Outside-the-box thinking can only truly come to
creave fruion through self-and-other transcendence. The
alternave is to aempt a spiritual exercise with cognive or
intellectual tools while always leaving the curtain of full insight
unveiled. We need to remember that insight is given to us, per-
sonally and in the worthplace. The late but noted philosopher,
Bernard Lonergan (1904-1984), provides its ve characteriscs :
(1) insight comes to us aer we have wrestled with the tension
of an inquiry; (2) insight comes suddenly and unexpectedly;
(3) insight is the result of inner condions (such as preparaon
and expectaon on our part; deliberaon, and taking me to
mull things over; aenveness; our ability to follow the line
of inquiry; and our sincerity in the searching); (4) insight rests
on working on a real problem; and nally, (5) the insight must
eventually become part of who we are, that is, once we be -
come aware, we cant become unaware). Insight is gi, there -
fore, and not simply the fruit of external circumstances. Being a
gi means we cant fabricate it; we simply need to be grateful.Keep in mind also Melody Beaes words, Gratude unlocks
the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and
more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion
to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home,
a stranger into a friend. ... Gratude turns negave energy into
posive energy. There is no situaon or circumstance so small
or large that it is not suscepble to gratudes power.
Below is a visual of the basic components or characteriscs of
personalism:
PART III
In Part I we discussed the noon of the social character, acontext or worldview that we are born into. I was specically
relang this to the doing of business where the mindset is oen
one of ROI (return-on-investment) only oen at the expense
of ROIR (return-on-investment- or integrity-in-relaonships).
I pointed out that true balance is both: a commodity-based
vision but also a meaning-based vision that must be integral to
doing business. The meaning based vision is always primary,
that is, persons always come rst existenally and primarily,
then prots. In Part II I laid out more of the philosophy of
personalism with its ve characteriscs which are integral to
a person-based or meaning-based vision of life and of doing
business. These were: the primal uniqueness of all persons, not
just one of kind in relaon to other animals; the uniqueness ofpersons that demands an enrely dierent ethical paradigm to
make and weigh ethical judgments; the interiority and sub-
jecvity of all persons, that shows itself in the unity of self-
consciousness, freedom, and personal autonomy; self-determi-
naon, that is, that a person acts in this world and in business
not just in a determinisc manner, but in freedom; and nally, a
person is a social being, naturally lted and dependent on oth-
ers for relaonality and for communion with others.
Persons naturally by birth reach out to otherness, what I
To be nobody-but-yourself
in a world which is doing its best,night and day, to make you everybody else
means to fght the hardest battle
which any human being can fght; and never
stop fghting.
