The world is challenged by
natural disasters, shortages, protests, deceitful political and business
practices.
The authors of The
Virtuosa Organisation believe that business is uniquely poised and equipped
to face the challenges and change all of this. They comprehensively present practical ways
and means of living a new strategic narrative and delivering a dazzling, virtuosa
performance grounded on relevant virtues. (The Latin for virtue, virtus, means
‘spiritual strength’). Their vision goes beyond doing well and doing good, or
moving from good to great. It is about businesses transforming their culture,
developing virtuous cycles, and being the significant and sustainable
difference that is needed.
The authors make liberal
use of story, images, metaphor and poetry to convey their experience, insights
and findings. Virtues drawn from the life and works of Leonardo da Vinci, and
which span all cultures, illustrate what is possible.
Here is an opportunity
to see afresh, to envisage courageously and to position your organisation
differently.
