The result? People are uninspired, feel like cogs in a machine and prefer to leave traditional work structures behind. Numbers and productivity can only get you so far.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhat Philosophy Can Teach You About Being a Better Leader\u003c\/em\u003e offers a different route that will allow you to reconnect with the humanist values of work. By turning to philosophy, and what it teaches us about finding fulfilment and living a good life, this book uncovers the ways you can re-engage your workforce by valuing its members as people, rather than just tools within the process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe four authors argue that the rise of the 'omnipotent leader', who focuses on telling rather than leading, risks creating a new generation of feudal CEOs and needs to be resisted. With the help of Aristotle, Socrates, Kant and Nietzsche, as well as a whole host of other brilliant minds, they turn traditional management practices on their head, showing how moving away from traditional, hierarchical, risk-focused control structures can lead to improved employee engagement, increased productivity and better outcomes for the entire business.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47537460117740,"sku":"9780749493165","price":52.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780749493165-what-philosophy-can-teach-you-about-being-a-better-leader.jpg?v=1776396508"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/dominic-houlder.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
