Mother Teresa, CEO: Unexpected Principles for Practical Leadership (Bk Business)
Praise for Mother Teresa, CEO“I have always regarded Mother Teresa as one of my role models because she understood and demonstrated through her own being that real leadership comes from the soul. This exploration of Mother Teresa’s deep well of compassion, dignity, empathy, and love is a profound meditation on what it means to be a real leader.”—Deepak Chopra, author ofThe Soul of Leadership“Ruma Bose’s and Lou Faust’s perspective on the iconic Mother Teresa’s unique leadership skills is nothing short of a revelation. Having started my career in the social services world, I found that some of the best business managers hail from that world, with Mother Teresa certainly a leading example. I found myself nodding and “uh-huhing” as I recognized the simple but powerful lessons that Mother Teresa’s eight principles can teach us all. Simply extraordinary.”—Jim McCann, founder and CEO, 1-800-FLOWERS.COM and Celebrations.com“Entrepreneurship isn’t about starting a business; it’s about creating a state of mind. Bose and Faust do a tremendous job of demonstrating Mother Teresa’s entrepreneurial mind-set as she grew the Missionaries of Charity around the world. The eight leadership principles outlined in their book provide both inspiration and guidance to anyone passionate about and committed to building a global organization.”—Leonard A. Schlesinger, President, Babson College, and former Vice Chairman and Chief Operating Officer, Limited Brands“This book is a wonderful addition to Mother Teresa’s legacy. A fantastic journey that gave me insight into simple principles that can be profitably applied to any organization. Bose and Faust reveal a previously unrecognized facet of this extraordinary woman’s life, one that provides lessons any leader can benefit from. Profound, engaging, and packed with insight. I couldn’t recommend it more highly.”—Gloria Nelund, cofounder, Chair, and CEO, TriLinc Global, and former Head, Private Wealth Management Division for North America, Deutsche Bank
