Corporate Renaissance
In this radical book on business and work, Swedish businessman Rolf Osterberg argues that businesses have their priorities all wrong. Paradoxically, corporations also -- more than any other institution -- have the potential to act as an agent of change toward a human-oriented world. The solution lies in the ongoing fundamental shift in our way of thinking -- of our perception of the world, life, the human being, and meaning. This is Osterberg's "new thought." In "Corporate Renaissance," Osterberg explores: How the creativity of its employees -- not capital -- is a company's greatest asset Why employee-owned companies are the model for the future Why hierarchies prevent problem-solving How profit-taking can doom a company Why setting goals, without an underlying vision, is destructive

Reflections on My Call to Preach
Travel with revered preacher and author Fred Craddock through his early years as he considers what made him take to the pulpit. ?For some reason, I felt I had to say ?Yes? or ?No? to the ministry so I could feel free again. My siblings and friends talked almost casually about options and preferences as to careers, but with no evident sense of urgency. Not so with me. I did not then nor do I now know whether the burden of choice was a trait of personality, a kind of super-conscientiousness, whether the calling to ministry itself carried a weight, a burden, peculiar to the task itself. Rightly or wrongly, when I thought of possibly becoming a journalist, that would be a choice, 100 percent min...
Corporate Renaissance
Rolf Osterberg, a top executive in the film and newspaper industries, explodes the myth of business' greatest asset being capital, and takes on other conventional ideas into the bargain. He makes a compelling case for employee-owned companies, and for not taking out the profits from a company. He argues for a company structure which is not hierarchical, and for a management with the vision thing of what the business is and where it ought to be going. When a business nurtures and values the creative imput of all its employees, it is laying the foundations of secure business success. This breakthrough book explains how.

The Shadow King
Many of us have worked to free ourselves from the rigid patriarchal values that have dominated our culture for so long. Dr. Sidra Stone helps us to take the next step by making us aware of the Inner Patriarch—the voice within each of us that echoes those values. This inner voice is called the Shadow King because he is invisible and works from the shadows to sabotage even the most liberated women. This books shows us how to transform our Inner Patriarch from an unseen enemy to a powerful ally so that we can claim our full feminine power.
The Workplace Revolution
From the Enron debacle to the Martha Stewart scandal, trust in business practices and in corporate leaders has been seriously jeopardized, hitting an all-time low. According to Matthew Gilbert in his latest book, The Workplace Revolution, the problem stems from a relentless work ethic, the tireless pursuit of profit, and the conflict between business values and human values. Today more than ever, people are waking up to the fact that they are not getting back what they give to their employers. While they are dedicating an inordinate amount of themselves to their work, their jobs offer little to meet their needs for community, self-expression, and service, and many have simply abandoned the p...

Getting to the Better Future
