simply want to gain a better understanding of what an organization should be, this is a good source of good ideas. My opinion is that he expresses the "ideal" organization. I think he gives good insight of why things go wrong in organizations, what is missing and how to fix them, and specially how to fix oneself. This is not a silver bullet, but a pointer in the right direction. He uses well-known management concepts and gives them a spiritual spin. Mr. Spitzer is an expert in high level management and a Jesuit priest. A rare combination. I am not an organizational leader myself - probably will never be - but I've personally experienced the impact of the kind of situations he describes. I've directly experienced the pain caused by some of leadership's arrogance and compulsion. At least now I have an idea of what happened. Very inspiring read.
It just made sense to me!

I enjoyed his books. Father Spitzer does not seek to gain millions by publishing his books. He broadcasts his ideas in the books on EWTN for free. Thank you and God bless you Father Spitzer!

I highly recommend this book...especially for the business professional who is interested in "leading" versus "managing" and who desires to learn more about "collaborating" rather than "comparing". Truly a worthwhile investment of your time.
