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
