Description
Here is an important work that demonstrates that bringing Christian ethics into the workplace is both practical and profitable. This is an implicitly Christian book that empowers all who work for a company, giving them a sense of mission and spiritual ownership, based on the ethical values the author learned as a student of the Jesuits. A Fordham graduate, Bill O'Brien rescued a near-bankrupt insurance company by empowering employees and giving them an emotional stake in making the business successful. With a forward by Peter Senge.
