If Aristotle Ran General Motors: The New Soul of Business | |
What does classical philosophy have to offer modern business? Nothing less than the secrets to building great morale and productivity in any size organization.
This is the message that Tom Morris will deliver this year to thousands of executives of leading companies such as Merrill Lynch, Coca Cola, Bayer, and Northwestern Mutual Life.
In If Aristotle Ran General Motors, Morris, who taught philosophy at Notre Dame for fifteen years, shares the knowledge that he garnered from a lifetime of studying the writings and teachings of history's wisest thinkers and shows how to apply their ideas in today's business environment. Although he frequently draws on the wisdom of Aristotle, Morris also finds inspiration in the teachings of a wide array of thinkers from many different traditions and eras. Throughout these pages we're invited to pause and consider the words of Confucius, Seneca, Saint Augustine, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Abraham Lincoln, and many others.
By looking at the inside workings of various kinds of businesses-- from GE to Tom's of Maine-- Morris shows why any company that is serious about attaining true excellence must adhere to four timeless virtues first identified by Aristotle more than two thousand years ago: Truth, Beauty, Goodness, and Unity. Morris makes clear that the most successful companies encourage a corporate culture that ensures that all interactions among colleagues, employees, management, bosses, clients, customers, and suppliers are infused with dignity and humanity. Moreover, the book provides clearly stated strategies for how everyone who works can make these qualities the foundation for their everyday business (and personal) lives.
If Aristotle Ran General Motors presents the most compelling case of any book yet written for a new ethics in business and for a workplace where openness and integrity are the rule rather than the exception. It offers an optimistic vision for the future of leadership and a plan for reinvigorating the soul back into our professional lives.

I actually needed to purchase a second copy, as my first copy was so covered in post-it tabbies, underlines, folded pages, etc., that it was practically un-readable.
This book bubbles over with timeless, approachable business sense.
So what's the difference - what makes this one different than the other 50 million other business books, you ask?
Well, Morris presents this information in such a way to tie history to what's happening in today's business environments, makes fascinating observations and poses questions that allow the reader to tie their experiences to his examples.
Run, don't walk. Just get it...and get your post-it tabbies ready to go!
This is not your typical management theory book! Morris intermingles good business practices and philosophy for thought provoking insights. This is a classic in my library that I refer to often, and one of few books with insights - like "network with sages" - that have stuck with me from the first reading.
This is a great book and well written! If you want to get to the core of culture and your greatest assets are people, this is the book for you!!
Yes, the title is CRAZY but it is nothing but the TRUTH inside.... every business person, if you own a business or don't should read this book... it should be a part of every business school classes...
This is a great book and actually really entertaining to read!
