Abstract: Abstract Living and leading mindfully in a VUCA worldVUCA world may awaken our consciousnessconsciousness to the entanglement of systemic injustice, in tolerance of expressions of hate and violence, the widening of wealth and wellbeing gaps between rich and poor, and the exacerbation of environmental degradation. We hold our gaze on the disturbing issues that are facing humanity and the planet, and we commit to taking action through our contribution to a transformational management educationmanagement education . Our focus in this chapter is on faith traditions. All religions posit universal loving relationships. We are motivated by the call of 2015 Parliament of the World’s ReligionsParliament of the World’s Religions to work together for a world of compassion, peace, justice and sustainability despite our differences. We seek the potential of interfaithinterfaith collaborations in living and leading in a VUCA world through translating faith and spiritual values into teachings of love and compassion. These values can be exercised in the educational content and processes we are responsible for. We urge this in the hope that these values will be extended in the post-university communities our students will engage with.
