Study finds daily prayer linked to higher leadership confidence

Thekabarnews.com—More and more research is showing that your spiritual practices may affect how strong and confident you feel at work. The Harvard Business Review said that people who run businesses and pray every day can be better leaders.

Respondents to the survey were business owners in a wide range of industries. It found that men who pray every day are more likely to talk about how effective they are at leading and handling money. The study found that prayer doesn’t improve the economy or increase income. However, it did identify behaviors linked to trust in leadership.

People who said they prayed a lot also said they were happier at work, better at dealing with problems, and had clearer long-term goals. Many people who answered said that prayer helps them organize their thoughts and feelings. In addition, it helps them rethink their priorities and make decisions that are in line with their morals.

People who had stressful, dangerous, and unpredictable jobs seemed to stay grounded by thinking about their faith a lot. Executives said that praying helped them make better choices. This was especially true when their business was having problems or the economy was dire.

Researchers said that the most important finding wasn’t about money but about the traits of internal leadership. Everyone who answered the survey said that praying every day helped them deal with stress, keep their emotions in check, and think more clearly. A lot of the time, these things made people feel like they could be leaders in front of other people.

The results are in line with larger discussions about how people’s daily habits affect how well they do their jobs. Writing in a journal, praying, and meditating are all structured activities that can help you keep your mind stable. Many leaders pray to stay calm and think about the future.

Experts say that a leader’s job performance depends on many things, such as how well they know their field, how well the market is doing, and how quickly they can learn new things. But the evidence shows that what happens in public can be very different from what happens in private.

The study gives a new look at how to improve leadership as it talks about workplace well-being change.
