A Global Lesson

Description

Business with a conscience. A Global Lesson is the final work of Reinhard Mohn — the man who led Bertelsmann into the modern era and one of Germany’s most remarkable entrepreneurs. Published by Random House in 2009, it gathers a lifetime of business wisdom.

Mohn’s philosophy was simple and radical: cooperation and compassionate leadership build stronger, more successful companies than command and control. In this concise volume he reflects on building businesses on partnership, trust, and responsibility — lessons drawn from decades at the helm of a global media group.

Thoughtful, principled, and quietly inspiring — essential for managers, entrepreneurs, and anyone interested in a more humane way of doing business. The parting wisdom of a legendary business leader — written with the clarity of a man who lived his principles. A business book with a conscience, asking leaders to build companies worthy of the people who work in them.
