J. André de Barros Teixeira
The H(uman)MBA
Lessons from the Classics of Literature
and Philosophy you don’t learn in business
schools.
Imagine that the impact of your actions was directly related to the human values you put into them. Now… imagine that you could be successful as a manager, remaining human and without necessarily being misunderstood or hated, or both.
This is what you will find in “The H(uman)MBA”, where you can get answers to remain human when all the demands tend to be so inhuman.
And… best of all? As a manager or leader you will continue to be successful, results-oriented, focused on the bottom line, deliver on shareholders’ expectations etc., etc. and, at the same time, keep your sanity, your life in balance, continuing to grow, being sensitive to other people’s aspirations and positioning yourself in the world at large, in a way that the social impact of your presence goes beyond just the immediacy of business results.
Inspirations you don´t learn in business schools but demonstrate how you can go from “good to great” and still be good at the end.
