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)
