What ancient philosophers have to say to today's managers : Practical tips for inspired and ethical leadership

Résumé :
The great thinkers of antiquity, from Plato to Marcus Aurelius, via Aristotle and Epicurus, have had a lasting influence on the Western world, its cultures, philosophies, political organization and scientific knowledge. But they can also inspire the way we manage. Drawing on the teachings of millennia of thought, Françoise Mourier takes us on a journey of initiation, bringing together ancient philosophers and modern-day managers. From the inner questioning advocated by Socrates to the control of the ego inspired by Diogenes or the cooperation dear to Aristotle, each of the 14 chapters in this book guides us in the acquisition of essential human and managerial qualities. Supported by practical advice and exercises, it provides numerous keys to developing inspired and ethical leadership. By applying ancient wisdoms to contemporary challenges, the book presents an original approach to meeting today's management challenges and enriching one's professional and personal life.
