Publisher's Synopsis
IGI (pronounced "iggy")
Is about living in IGI: Inviting God/Good In
Rather than EGO: Edging God/Good Out
Many entrepreneurs and business leaders today are seeking to bring a deeper Spiritual Intelligence and a greater consciousness into their business so as to benefit not just themselves and their customers, but the world as a whole. We all desire to do work in the world that is successful, profitable, and guided and informed by our deepest values. However, it can be challenging for ambitious, action-oriented business leaders to balance maximizing profits while also nurturing their deeper purpose.
In The IGI Principles, Steve Rodgers brings his expertise on business leadership as the CEO and leader of multiple large, successful companies as well as the experiences of his own spiritual journey to guide the reader on how they can "do well by doing good" and invite a true Spiritual Intelligence into their personal and professional lives.
Central to accomplishing this is the concept of choosing IGI over ego - Inviting Good In instead of Edging Good Out. This is the practice of opening oneself up to taking action from a place of deep inner alignment with the greater good and with their Spiritual Intelligence rather than from a strictly materially focused consciousness.
Learning the IGI principles and remembering to stay in their own state of IGI, is a practice that all individuals can engage in - whether they be solo entrepreneurs, business leaders, employees, or anyone seeking deeper fulfillment. Making small changes in one's inner orientation will have a powerful and deep effect on their entrepreneurial success as well as personal fulfillment. By inviting God and goodness into one's business endeavors, space is provided for everyone - whether they be employees, clients, or customers - to experience great creativity, harmony, and success.
This book shares essential elements of the IGI formula such as forgiveness, gratitude, morality, service, and trust. It explains how they can be expressed in your personal and professional life and why they are essential for success. It also explores how simple practices such as accountability tracking, breath, prayer, and meditation can be utilized within a business setting to increase happiness and productivity of everyone in the organization and help a business find and stay aligned with its deepest purpose as well as continue to drive ever-increasing profits.
These principles and strategies apply to all forms of professional work, whether the individual is a solopreneur, the CEO of a multi-million dollar company, or an employee in a company of any size. Essentially, these are universal principles and truths that are for anyone looking to better themselves and find harmony and balance in their inner and outer worlds. The reader will also learn about the trackable and measurable daily 4 pillars of Body, Bonds, Being, & Business; and how they can become healthy and abundant in all of them so as to achieve their highest good in business and in life.
He helps the reader understand that spiritual principles and a deeper consciousness are essential to evolving to one's highest good in business and in life, and he masterfully guides the reader on just how to accomplish this in their own life path.
