Synopsis:

St Benedict (c.480-547) wrote a rule book that for 14 centuries has influenced monastic life throughout the world and continues to guide, spiritually and practically, the Benedictine order. Ampleforth Abbey in Yorkshire has recognised the power of the Rule for guiding life and work in the modern world and has been running courses for business people that explore the value of St Benedict's teaching. Managing permanent, rapid change is the ultimate task for business from now on. The Rule has been helping the Benedictines to successfully enable and manage change for over a thousand years. Its stress on realism, vision and perseverance in the context of strong communities provides businesses large and small with a way forward to survival and success.

Review: 'The stimulating and enjoyable contributions are illustrated by case studies drawn from both business and monastic contexts and punctuated with amusing cartoons. It is a book that any leader, or would-be leader, in any field would read with profit.' THE CHURCH TIMES
