This book is a call for every leader to undertake an inner journey, to discover him- or herself—and in so doing to discover others—to find out what it means to be a whole person. Along the way, left brain and right brain, heart and mind, firmness and empathy will be reconciled.
Throughout human history, work has been a key concern. It can make slaves of us, or it can enable us to transform the world. We have entered a new economy whose hallmarks are networks and advanced technology—but where plenty and poverty exist side by side. Where is it going? How can we turn that economy into a vehicle for human fulfillment and freedom, instead of a source of alienation?
From our culture we have inherited two managerial archetypes, embodied by Pharaoh and Moses. Considering himself omniscient and omnipotent, Pharaoh manages by slavery, conquest, meticulous bookkeeping. Moses, in contrast, is someone with inner strength who helps others break out of their mental prisons, conveys meaning, strives to act rightly.
