The harsh reality that confronts much contemporary optimism
A book about helplessness, tyranny and profit. But also about leadership, democracy, the human spirit and prosperity. Though addressing the fundamental Christian principle of choosing service before self-interest and carrying a message for church management and denominational structures, Block's focus is entirely in the world and the workplace. From the fragmentation of our lives we are all familiar with he leads us to wholeness, integration and reconciliation and writes about a redistribution of power, partnership and community. But if all this makes it sound theoretical, far from it. It is absolutely practical, down-to-earth and built on solid day-to-day issues.

This is a shocking book. Prepare to be changed.
Block asks disturbing questions in powerful ways. On important topics concerning our civilisation and the role of organisations in it.

The "bottom line" is: Regard for others
Block has a way of taking us outside the realm of day-to-day management without falling into unreality. In Leveraging People and Profit, Bernie Nagle and I present the concept of the altrupreneur -- one who conducts an enterprise with conspicuous regard for others. Block does an outstanding job of presenting the why and how of doing this.
