In today’s competitive and sometimes cutthroat business world, the concept that a leader can and should govern based on spiritual principles might seem impractical or impossible. In Leading from Within, Thomas Beeman and Richard Glenn make the powerful case that having a spiritual frame of reference can actually benefit companies, but more important, nourish the leaders who shepherd them. Using examples from their own careers and personal experiences, these two health-care executives outline twelve spiritual concepts that senior management in all industries can use to lead and live by. Leading from Within speaks to CEOs, executives, senior managers, board members, and anyone seeking to direct an organization while staying focused on what really matters—for themselves and for their companies. Each chapter starts with an illustrative leadership challenge spotlighting a corporate issue. Beeman and Glenn then introduce the spiritual concept relating to that issue, why it matters to the corporation and individuals, and how it relates to leadership. Sections called “Fireside Chats” present conversations between the two authors in which they use examples from their own experiences to further demonstrate the importance of a spiritual perspective. Personal applications, journal opportunities, and daily spiritual practices for the reader round out the insightful, applicable chapters.

Dauenhauer, Richard Leonard was born on April 10, 1942 in Syracuse, New York, United States. Son of Leonard George and Jane Grier Dauenhauer.
Bachelor in Russian, Syracuse University, 1964. Master of Arts in German, University Texas, 1966. Doctor of Philosophy in Comparative Literature, University Wisconsin, 1975.
His B.A. was from Syracuse University in Slavic Languages and his M.A. from the University of Texas at Austin in German. He became a professor of literature at Alaska Methodist University in Anchorage, where he came in contact with the Tlingit people. From 1981 to 1988, he was the poet laureate of Alaska.
He also became a professor at the University of Alaska Southeast until retiring in 2011. Dauenhauer "made recording, transcribing and advocating for the Tlingit language his life's work". They wrote an introductory textbook on the Tlingit language, and he brought what had previously been the oral traditions of the Tlingit into his poetry.
As a professor, he also trained many others to teach and translate Tlingit. As a result of his efforts, Tlingit-language teaching is now available to many Alaskans from grade school through the college level. His papers are held at University of Alaska Anchorage.
Dauenhauer died on August 19, 2014, in Juneau's Bartlett Regional Hospital, after having been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer a month prior.
