This book offers a new approach to business management based on the 'Rule of St Benedict'. The writings of the fifth-century monk stress the necessity of building communities that have a clear goal-based vision of purpose. The book applies St Benedict's teaching to the modern world of management. It will show you how to deal with your colleagues and employees fairly, honestly and respectfully; how to create healthy working environments where staff are rewarded and disciplined effectively; and how to deal with other managers both within and outside of your organisation.
