Advance Praise
"I have always regarded Mother
Teresa as one of my role models because she understood and demonstrated through
her own being that real leadership comes from the soul. Ruma Bose's exploration
of Mother Teresa's deep well of compassion, dignity, empathy and love is a
profound meditation on what it means to be a real leader."
--Deepak Chopra, author of The Soul of
Leadership
"Ruma Bose's perspective on the iconic Mother Theresa's unique leadership skills is nothing short of a revelation. Having started my career in the social services world, some of the best business managers I have come across hail from that world with Mother Theresa certainly a leading example. I found myself nodding and "Uh huh-ing" as I recognized the simple but powerful lessons that Mother Theresa's eight principles can teach us all. Simply extraordinary."
-Jim McCann, Founder and CEO 1-800-FLOWERS.COM and Celebrations.com
"Mother Teresa inspired people throughout the world as a result of her
work. She truly was an extraordinary person. This book looks at her
work through the lens of her leadership for the very first time. The
principles put forth by Ms. Bose and Mr. Faust provide leaders in any
organization a framework for ethical and effective leadership in today's
tumultuous environment. Read it. Apply the principles and you and
your organization will be on your way to becoming extraordinary."
-Robert White, Founder and CEO, Extraordinary People and author of Living an Extraordinary Life
"Entrepreneurship
isn't about starting a business, it's about creating a state of mind. Bose
and Faust do a tremendous job of demonstrating Mother Teresa's entrepreneurial
mindset as she grew the Missionaries of Charity around the world. The
eight leadership principles outlined in their book provide both inspiration and
guidance to anyone passionate about and committed to building a global
organization."
-Leonard A. Schlesinger, President Babson College and
former Vice Chairman and Chief Operating Officer, Limited Brands
