″In the world of business where it has become fashionable to apply rules from other walks of life to the boardroom, the application of spiritual rules within business has become extremely popular. It also provides business with an alternative to whiteboard briefings and management spiel. The Rule of St Benedict is both spiritually enhancing and widely applicable. Managing permanent rapid change is the ultimate task for business from now on. The Rule’s stress on realism, vision and perseverance in the context of strong communities provides business large and small with a way forward to survival and success. The book also serves as a guide for people who run religious communities and indeed communities of any kind.” (Amazon)

″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)
