Abstract

In the evolving landscape of business and commerce, the intersection of faith and business innovation has become a topic of debate, particularly in a world that increasingly values efficiency, scalability, and profit. This dissertation examines the role of spirituality in business leadership. We will explore how Christian values, servant leadership, and heart-mind coherence contribute to a more sustainable, ethical, and community-driven business model. Through the lens of my family’s business, Sam Moon Group, I will explore how faith-based leadership can coexist with success and serve as its very foundation. The early journey of Sam Moon Trading Company, from a small family-run retail business to a diversified real estate and hospitality enterprise, will be studied and analyzed. I hope to provide a meaningful model for others seeking to merge faith and commerce while maintaining ethical integrity and a commitment to the community.
