Aus dem Klappentext

The writer, consultant, and lecturer Robert K. Greenleaf is known as the grandfather of the modern empowerment movement in business leadership. Among his many accomplishments, Greenleaf founded the Center for Applied Ethics, now known as the Robert K.

The book concludes with a personal conversation b
