Being at Work

Autor Lloyd E. Sandelands
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 10 apr 2014
What is it to be truly human at work? Why do so many people today ache to be more human at work? In this book, Lloyd E. Sandelands unites the metaphysics of Aristotle and Aquinas and the social teachings of the Catholic Church to describe how business leaders can help people in their organizations become more truly and fully human. Being at Work is a much-needed marriage of metaphysical philosophy and managerial common sense.

Recenzii

What does it mean to be fully human in a business organization and how do fully human leaders lead? Lloyd Sandelands, one of the wisest management scholars in the world today, shows us that we can only answer these questions if we see, or better said, behold, the divine in each other.
Being at Work will surprise you. It shatters the idea that work is primarily, if not exclusively, about rationality and instrumentality. . . . Sandelands opens our eyes to the path of self-discovery by showing how union with God is union with love. . . . It is a profound treatise about seeing and believing in the power of the true self, a self in God that is all genuine, all good, and all loving.
[Sandelands'] argument is bold and graceful, provocative and honest, [and] written in beautiful language. Go to the book for questions of transcendence, becoming, beauty, relational being, and the authority in serving at work.
This book is an uncommon marriage of theology and managerial common sense. . . . Because it recognizes the tragedy that is our failure of being in God, Sandelands' work is able to shine a light on this entirely unnecessary failure and teach us to behold work in the light of faith. As a beacon amid the darkness of dehumanizing forces so common in today's world of commerce, Being at Work is a rare treasure.
