Gandhi, CEO: 14 Principles to Guide and Inspire Modern Leaders - Hardcover

This title includes fourteen business lessons to instruct, inspire and encourage. Each lesson is brought to life through quotes and vivid examples from Gandhi's life. This title examines this moral and intensely spiritual man, who was also a supremely practical manager and a powerful agent for change. History's great leaders have much to teach us and no one outshines Alan Axelrod in extracting those lessons and applying them to today's business world. Axelrod has found a new and perhaps surprising subject for his popular format: Gandhi. Gandhi, a CEO? Absolutely - and an incomparable example for our uncertain times, when we need leaders we can trust and admire. Not only was he a moral and intensely spiritual man, but also a supremely practical manager and a powerful agent for change, able to nurture the rebirth of an entire nation. Axelrod looks at this much-studied figure in a way nobody has before, employing his fluid, engaging and coversational style to bring each lesson to life through quotes and vivid examples from Gandhi's life.
