People are Talking About The Philosophic Consultant "Every once in a while, a book comes along that illuminates the darkness of our time. This is the book for our time." --from the foreword by Warren Bennis "The complexity and fragility of our life at the beginning of the 21st Century can only be mastered by a new world ethos. Peter Koestenbaum¹s new book provides the basic philosophical concept for meeting this challenge!" --Professor Klaus Schwab, founder and president, World Economic Forum, Geneva, Switzerland "Peter Koestenbaum¹s latest book provides important insights into the fundamental drivers of leadership. For all of us in this complicated, challenging, and volatile business world, it provides a deep understanding of the key success factors in our personal and business lives." --John Devine, vice chairman and CFO, General Motors Corporation "Peter Koestenbaum has written an important book that looks beneath the cosmetic surface of leadership to probe some of the deeper issues of leading and living. The subjects he addresses are not new. They are some of the timeless issues of human existence. Yet, Peter manages to make them fresh and relevant especially for the traditional business reader who may have substituted accounting for philosophy in college. More than any contemporary writer, Peter Koestenbaum makes classical philosophy accessible and actionable for anxious executives. The subtitle is not overstated, this is a blueprint for revolutionizing organizations and the people who lead them." --Robert M. Fulmer, distinguished visiting professor, Graziadio School of Business, Pepperdine University and academic director, Duke Corporate EducationHinweis: Dieser Artikel kann nur an eine deutsche Lieferadresse ausgeliefert werden.
