BY SPIRITUALITY MANAGEMENT AGAINST STUPIDITY MANAGEMENT IN A FUNCTION OF ACCELERATED DEVELOPMENT

Spirituality is awareness and application of basic human values, and stupidity management is blocking of such value manifestation in business-economic domain. ABSTRACT Contemporary organizations becomes more stupidity intensive with domination of stupidity management. Stupidity management deals with limitation of unsuitable „smart“, with limitations in intellectual and/or emotional-motivational functional area. The deficit of critical thinking, deeper thinking, creativity and passion most often arise not because of intelligence deficit but because different emotional-motivational blockages which generate stupidity management (fear, uncertainty, power mechanism, domination, coercion, „higher“ politics, lack of curiosity…), but also because of partial knowledge and/or pseudo-knowledge as dominant management „modus operandi“. This paper by insight method inquires the problem of stupidity management which retard the development by inhibiting the cognitive capacities of organizational human resources. The central mediation factor of stupidity management „ideology“ is marginalization of spiritual values. Without spiritual management no one potential valuable organizational/economic solution regardless of its vision or strategic foundation can not vivify, because it will be distorted or canceled by opportunism of privileged actors which characterize essential lack of spirituality. Developmental and organizational crisis is dominantly result of spirituality (value) crisis which do not promote collectively good and the greatest good for all, but only for privileged groups and individuals. In minimizing the stupidity management and economic stagnation substantially can help only non-material resources, this means spirituality management which implement the value categories such as: truth, correct behavior, love, serenity and non-violence which are the basis for realization the vision of spiritual, productive, intelligent, creative and happy enterprises. The goal of this paper is to research how to diminish stupidity management which is seen as a cause of business-economic stagnation by means of spirituality management and his value categories.
