An exploration of spirituality, values, and sustainability in
business
When Jochen Zeitz and Anselm Grün first met onstage as ‘the
manager and the monk, ‘ Zeitz was CEO and Chairman of Puma, and
Father Grün was a monk serving as cellarer, the business
manager of his Benedictine abbey. They came together to discuss
their shared goal: what it means to lead and manage responsibly and
sustainably in today’s shifting world.
Available for the first time in English, The Manager and the
Monk features these topical essays and dialogues, drawing on
sources as diverse as the Bible, contemporary religious thought,
psychological theory, and the innovative ‘environmental profit
& loss account’ Zeitz developed for Puma. Together, Zeitz and
Gr??n explore their intersecting definitions of prosperity, values,
sustainability, among a host of other topics.
* Jochen Zeitz was CEO of Puma for 18 years and is founder, with
Sir Richard Branson, of the B Team, a global initiative aimed at
transforming the future of business
* Anselm Grün is cellarer (business manager) of
Münsterschwarzach Abbey in Germany, overseeing a staff of 300
in crafts such as beekeeping and brewing; and an internationally
best-selling author of more than 300 books available in 35
languages
* Translated from an award-winning German book, Gott, Geld,
und Gewissen, which has been translated into 11 languages
The Manager and the Monk is a thoughtful, impassioned
plea for how to manage responsibly in the modern world.
