| Abstract | "This book is the result of two decades of dialogue with His Holiness the Dalai Lama and other leaders in business, government, science and education. Author Sander Tideman, a lawyer and banker who has maintained a friendship with the Dalai Lama over the last 20 years, presents a practical framework to develop a new kind of leadership: societal leadership in business, which is fit to tackle escalating social, economic and environmental needs. At the heart of the book lies the journey to discover the shared purpose between business and society, which ignites new sources of value creation for the organization, customers and society. This 'triple value' is achieved by embedding a sustainable approach at the heart of business operations and by responding to the fundamental reality of interconnectedness. Reflecting Tideman's sharp perceptions and infused with the Dalai Lama's unmistakable wisdom and joy, this book has the power to change your way of thinking"-- Provided by publisher. |
