Can Spirituality and Big Business Tango?

Tom Szaky, Chief Executive Officer, TerraCycle, Inc. Does spirituality play a role in how you run your company? This is a hard question to answer, as my personal spirituality is what guides my daily decisions -- both consciously and subconsciously. However, if looking for a yes/no I would go with "no" as we try to run an agnostic organization so that all spiritual beliefs can co-exist. If not, can you share your thinking about omitting spirituality? Since spirituality is personal and especially because it can create controversy (when two different spiritual perspectives collide) I don't think there is a place for it in the workplace (TerraCycle). To us it is equally inappropriate as people wearing T-shirts with political slogans on them (e.g. "pro-choice").
