Description: "Some business leaders are breaking free from the shackles of traditional management, leaving behind heartless journeys up the corporate ladder and a narrow focus on maximising profit. They're replacing them with work environments where people can safely take their humanity to the office instead of leaving it at home. This book highlights the connection between maximising shareholder return and holistic business leadership which encompasses respect for the human spirit and social responsibility"--Page 4 of cover.
Notes: "An investigation into social responsibility in business"--Cover.
