He then proceeds to suggest measurements that can complement the financial section of the organization's scorecard with measures pertinent to the health of the organization's soul. The idea of a Confessional Identity, or the organization's core competencies, is valuable to leaders in both corporations and not-for-profit organizations. Confessional Identity pinpoints the very essence of mission. It transcends trendy corporate speak and seeks the spiritual heart of an organization's reason for being. Haffner pulls from research on corporations and higher education institutions to reveal how core convictions must be well articulated and be wholistically applied. To have wholistic adherence, the vast majority of associates must understand the core convictions (mind), exhibit behaviors consistent with those core convictions on a daily basis (body) as well as have an emotional connection with the core convictions that brings meaning to the tasks at hand (spirit), The AdventHealth Healthcare & Leadership Monograph Series is an innovative teaching and learning tool from the largest admitting hospital in America.
