    LEADING WITH WISDOM: SPIRITUAL-BASED LEADERSHIP IN BUSINESS

    Many business executives are increasingly becoming workaholic
    human-doings, longing to be full and integrated human-beings. They
    aspire to live with integrity, where their thoughts, values, words and
    deeds are in harmony. The problem is that they don't know how to do so
    in a business world that is increasingly characterized by complexity,
    turbulence and greed.

    "Leading with Wisdom: Spiritual-based Leadership in Business" provides
    food for thought for people dealing with these challenges. It contains
    stories and reflections of 31 inspiring and compassionate business
    leaders who care about what is truly important in life and who
    integrate this awareness and sensitivity into their leadership.

    "Leading with Wisdom" portrays an emerging global culture. This
    ground-breaking book offers the experiences and perspectives of 31 top
    executives from 15 countries in 6 continents. It is based on extensive
    personal interviews. These are business people who express from
    first-hand experience what it is like to lead a business from a
    spiritual basis. They tell amazing, down-to-earth, real-life stories
    about how spirituality and rationality can go hand in hand in
    leadership and life.

    Their words of wisdom demonstrate that executives who lead from a
    spiritual basis can achieve success, recognition, peace of mind and
    happiness, while at the same time serving the needs of all those
    affected by their leadership.

    Written in an engaging style, where the special 'voice' of each leader
    is heard, this book will be profoundly valuable to business leaders at
    every level and for all people who want to lead with integrity from a
    spiritual basis.

    PRAISE FOR LEADING WITH WISDOM
    " 'Leading with Wisdom' is an absolutely sensational book. I've never
    seen anything like it. I can't wait to share it with the leaders I
    meet."
    Patricia Aburdene: author of "Megatrends 2010: The Rise of Conscious
    Capitalism" and, together with John Naisbitt, of "Megatrends 2000:
    Re-inventing the Corporation"

    "This book reminds us that true leadership does not exist unless you
    are a friend of all mankind and have that as a guiding higher
    principle. 'Leading with Wisdom' inspires and gives you the courage to
    preach what you practise."
    Mads Ovlisen: Chairman of LEGO; Board member UN Global Compact; former
    CEO and Chairman, Novo Nordisk

    " 'Leading with Wisdom' ... may well provide a fundamental shift in the
    way we look at the very purpose of business. It is a trend-setter and a
    refreshing contrast to conventional success literature."
    Dr Debashis Chatterjee: Professor and Head, Leadership Centre, Indian
    Institute of Management, Lucknow

    " 'Leading with Wisdom' shows that one can achieve leadership positions
    while being spiritual but is not tempted to claim that people will be
    more successful in business if they are spiritual. At no point are the
    authors trying to 'sell' spirituality or to 'translate it into a set of
    tools'."
    Dr Marjo Lips-Wiersma: Senior Lecturer, University of Canterbury, New
    Zealand; past Chair, Management, Spirituality and Religion Interest
    Group, American Academy of Management

    "Reading 'Leading with Wisdom' is a deeply enjoyable and enlightening
    journey into the potential of spiritual-based leadership."
    Elena Bonfiglioli: Director, Corporate Citizenship, Microsoft Europe,
    Middle East and Africa; Chair of the Business Group, European Academy
    of Business in Society

    " 'Leading with Wisdom' is a rare gem: a truthful, reflective,
    inspirational text from the front lines of business management."
    Marcello Palazzi: Founder-President, Progressio Foundation; Co-founder,
    Spirit in Business (EU and USA)
