Greatest of all texts on virtue ethics for business and the world today! Transformative!
This textbook is a much-needed game changer for improving the future of our world. It is a must have for every MBA program and leader in business, government, Church, and society today. It is a grand slam success synthesizing the brilliance of classical wisdom from virtue ethics and practically applying it. They apply it to all the key areas of business, operations, and an organization's pursuit of optimal excellence (which is a translation of the word "virtue") and thriving. As they mention from Alasdair Macintyre's book "After Virtue" (from the great Notre Dame University who has brilliantly implemented this transformative and ultimately good virtue approach in their top ranked Mendoza College of Business "Grow the Good in Business" approach) they are restoring virtue language and Aristotle's brilliant golden mean virtue "practice" that develops more humane people and leaders who are wiser and once again learn the way of common sense. These things were jettisoned over the years as society moved away from the classical proven tried and true virtue approaches that have always worked throughout human history. What was left in its wake was a morass of nihilism tragically. Our modern failures most all stem from this major flaw damaging our culture, businesses, and society currently. This textbook masterfully provides a well-constructed, spot-on solution and practical application to fix this major flaw in today's culture. It is the cornerstone wisdom needed today for success and growth in prudence and virtue for our culture, businesses, relationships, and life of virtue and holiness so sorely needed today as a corrective for our times. This is the answer to most of the problems of our times and a path for improved decision making, better conversations, greater unity and less division, improved politics and brotherhood, increased world peace. It also charts a path to overcome trends today toward greedy, damaging, malicious capitalism and protecting benevolent capitalism instead with responsible freedom respected and the common good supported. It provides a much-needed foundation to make business and MBA programs today a force for good. This text will transform the way you lead, work, live, and relate and bring you quantum improvements enterprise wide and for your organization's culture and ultimate flourishing.
