The manager and the monk: a discourse on prayer, profit, and principles.
Jochen Zeitz, Anselm Grun, Jossey-Bass/Wiley
These thoughtful dialogues and essays look at leading and managing responsibly and sustainably today in an award-winning book translated into 13 languages and now available in English.
When they met, Jochen Zeitz was the Chairman and CEO of PUMA – the youngest-ever CEO of a publicly listed company in Germany – and Anselm Grun was a monk serving as cellarer (business manager) of his Benedictine abbey, responsible for 20 businesses, 300 employees and administration.
They look at managing both people and natural resources while upholding spiritual values and delivering shareholder value.
We cannot fix a broken world if we ourselves are broken.
‘We cannot fix a broken world if we ourselves are broken,’ Zeitz says. The 11 chapters explore success, prosperity, culture, values, acting ethically, the environment, commerce, sustainability, strengths and weaknesses, responsibility and awareness.
