An exploration of spirituality, values, and
sustainability in business When Jochen Zeitz and Anselm
Grün first met onstage as "the manager and the monk,"
Zeitz was CEO and Chairman of Puma, and Father Grün was
a monk serving as cellarer, the business manager of his
Benedictine abbey. They came together to discuss their
shared goal: what it means to lead and manage
responsibly and sustainably in today′s shifting world.
Available for the first time in English, The Manager and
the Monk features these topical essays and dialogues,
drawing on sources as diverse as the Bible, contemporary
religious thought, psychological theory, and the
innovative "environmental profit & loss account"
Zeitz developed for Puma. Together, Zeitz and Gr??n
explore their intersecting definitions of prosperity,
values, sustainability, among a host of other topics.
Jochen Zeitz was CEO of Puma for 18 years and is
founder, with Sir Richard Branson, of the B Team, a
global initiative aimed at transforming the future of
business Anselm Grün is cellarer (business manager) of
