Reviews for Spirituality and Business: A Christian Viewpoint: An Open Letter to Christian Leaders in Times of Urgency

This book is a clarion call to action for all current and aspiring business leaders who wish to see their tombstone being etched with something more than 'he delivered a long period of sustained profit growth'. Professor de Woot is an intellectual giant whose writings offer a new vision of leadership in a time when such vision is rare and yet desperately needed. - Mark Drewell, CEO, Globally Responsible Leadership Initiative Philippe de Woot is a remarkable man and this is an exceptional book that goes to the very heart of how companies should be managed and ask some serious questions about the role and value of business in the global community.
