Meditations on Management
«This remarkable book gently yet persuasively invites the reader to an oasis of quiet reflection. Its beautiful words refresh what we already know to be right but have forgotten.»

Management
Full Manuscript in English Available «It has been a very pleasant surprise. In a management book one normally expects to find the typical “recipe book” approach, while this is the exact opposite.» -José Arcas Romeu, President of Nestlé Spain «An extraordinary work that provides with profound reflections that are also intelligent and honest comments about the direction of contemporary management. It is a book that is not only necessary for the world of company management but also for life itself.» -Àlex Rovira, author of The Inner Compass and Good Luck
Meditating Management asks many questions yet does not necessarily pursue to give any answers, certainly not standard answers. Rather, it suggests that those of us looking to see “one step further” should be more than ready to start a journey leading to a better perspective on our work and lives; a better view of the true sense and meaning of what we do and who we are. It is a timely book, because in our turbulent times, we all need solid truths that anchor us to the everlasting importance of values and principles, not only in our professional careers, but in our personal development as human beings too.
