Christa Mesnaric
Aristotle for Managers
"He who devotes his entire energy to acquiring money alone, damages the community and restricts his own life." This observation, made by Aristotle 2,000 years ago, holds true today more than ever. Goal-directed activity, an orientation toward long-term corporate values as opposed to short-term profits, effective communication, and the development of one's own personality represent only a small selection of the tasks that Aristotle the business consultant sets for us. Christa Mesnaric unlocks the writings of one of antiquity's greatest philosophers, applies them to modern management challenges, and shows how we can put his teachings to use for ourselves today. This book is meant to inspire and encourage you; its purpose is to fuel your enjoyment of philosophy in everyday life.
