First sentence: In Ovid's tales from Greek mythology, we learn of a wealthy timber merchant named Erisychthon (Er-is-ya-thon).
Description: "Danah Zohar and Ian Marshall introduce the concept of spiritual intelligence (SQ), and describe how it can be used to shift individuals and our culture from a state of acting from lower motivations (fear, greed, anger, and self-assertion) to one of acting from higher motivations (exploration, cooperation, power-within, mastery, and higher service). They show how this shift actually happens in a given organizational culture. They look in depth at the issues that dominate corporate culture and examine the role of the leadership elite who must be the ones to bring about and embody this cultural shift. Finally, Zohar and Marshall agree that spiritual capital is a valid and workable form of capitalism and details what we, as individuals, can do to make it happen."--BOOK JACKET.
