Intellectual shamans—or shamans more generally—are fundamentally healers. In traditional cultures, they are the medicine men and women who heal both individuals and their communities. There are many people, who often go unrecognized, in the world today who fulfill the role of shaman—healing, connecting, and sensemaking the service of a better world.

Sandra Waddock’s (Boston College Carroll School of Management) book Intellectual Shamans profiles 28 academics who serve the world in this way and her book Healing the World argues that we all have the capacity, if we are willing to take the risk, to become shamans in whatever domain we serve. Join Sandra with two of the intellectual shamans profiled in the book to hear about what an intellectual shaman is, and how their journeys have shaped their work. Andrew (Andy) Hoffman (University of Michigan Ross School of Business and School for Environment and Sustainability) is a pioneer in thinking about purpose both individually and for businesses, as well as sustainability in business. Rajendra (Raj) Sisodia (Olin Distinguished Professor of Global Business and Whole Foods Research Scholar in Conscious Capitalism at Babson College) is co-founder and leader of the global Conscious Capitalism movement. Join these scholars as they discuss how academics—and everyone else—can make a difference by taking the stance of the shaman—and working to heal the world around us.
