McLennan believes leaders who integrate spirituality and ethical commitments into their professional lives build more successful business ventures and deliver greater satisfaction to customers and company stakeholders.

Aliso Viejo, California, United States, April 29, 2025 -- Some may argue that religious values have little relevance or place in today's competitive and high-pressure business environment. Yet, the history of corporate America is rich with examples of leaders who have achieved remarkable success while staying true to their faith and moral convictions. Anthony Joseph Amaradio is a shining example—a financial expert whose deep spiritual beliefs have shaped his approach to business and personal life. Known for his exceptional professional achievements, impactful philanthropy, and authorship of the acclaimed book Faithful with Much: Breaking Down the Barriers to Generous Giving—available on Amazon in Kindle, hardcover, and paperback—Amaradio champions the idea that faith offers entrepreneurs a unique advantage. Leaders can build thriving organizations without compromising integrity, by prioritizing morality, ethics, and compassion.

Maltbie Babcock, a distinguished 19th-century clergyman and writer, famously said, “Business is religion, and religion is business. The man who does not make a business of his religion has a religious life of no force, while the man who does not make a religion of his business has a business life of no character.” One thing that unites all of the world's faiths, "is that they invariably stress the importance of honesty, integrity, family values, hard work, respect, and generosity," Anthony Joseph Amaradio notes. Some of the largest companies were founded by people who applied these principles both to their private and business lives, the list including Sam Walton (retail giant Walmart), Dave Thomas (burger chain Wendy’s), and James Cash Penney (department store operator J.C. Penny). In addition to drawing on their faith to build thriving enterprises, these leaders were celebrated for their philanthropy and created foundations that have supported countless worthy causes over the decades. In more recent times, devout high-profile executives such as Indra Nooyi (PepsiCo leader from 2001 to 2018), Donnie Smith (head of Tyson Foods, 2009-2016), Pierre Omidyar (founder of eBay), and James Tisch (CEO of Loews Corporation since 1999) have spoken about faith as an integral part of how they run their businesses. They consistently credit religion and spirituality with teaching them to be fair, truthful, generous, socially responsible, ethical, and tolerant – qualities that have shaped their professional decisions and earned them a place in the ranks of the most successful corporate leaders of modern times.

One person uniquely qualified to discuss the positive impact of faith on leadership and work practices is Reverend Scotty McLennan, also a lawyer, book author, public speaker, and lecturer in political economy at the Stanford Graduate School of Business. As he remarked in an interview, “Business people spend most of their waking hours at work, and many want to find it meaningful. Many also want to conduct their business affairs ethically, and most of us worldwide learn our ethics through our religious traditions or a philosophical understanding of morality that we inherit from our families, education, and surrounding culture.” McLennan believes leaders who integrate spirituality and ethical commitments into their professional lives build more successful business ventures and deliver greater satisfaction to customers and company stakeholders.
