The Pope & The CEO: John Paul II's Leadership Lessons to a Young Swiss Guard by Andreas Widmer (2011-09-01)

Mr. Widmer writes "A company exists for two reasons: to satisfy the needs of its customers and to enable its employees and investors to earn a living while using their God-given gifts and talents in service to others." He then provides the practices and methods to accomplish these dual goals by setting out the lessons that he learned while spending two years closely observing the daily actions of Saint John Paul II and thereafter successfully leading multiple companies in the for-profit private sector and not-for-profit social impact sector..An easy and beneficial read for anyone seeking to incorporate their faith into everyday work and business. Mr. Widmer demonstrates that "good profit" is the result of principled business practices and virtuous leadership.The author concludes by assuring us that we have the power to choose the direction that we want to take in life. He writes "Work to choose what's right ... [and] Know how you're called to give your life as a gift." Wise words for all Christians and Catholics to follow.

Nice little inspiring stories we all can use
