Business can be beautiful. If any overarching theme characterizes the books in this series, that's it. And the notion that starting or running a business can be a joyful experience emerges more clearly than ever in this inspiring book by Mark Albion. Mark's topic is leadership, one of the most fundamental aspects of any organization - and perhaps the most basic of all. It's no coincidence that academic observers of the world of business have noted a strong correlation between a company's financial performance and its adoption of socially responsible business policies and practices. The explanation they offer? That what distinguishes these companies is superior leadership. Their en-lightened policies and practices reflect a leader's deeper, more sensitive understanding of the marketplace and the world in which we all live and work. They make a business run better.
