"Leadership is in crisis-from business to government, leaders have lost their compass in the rough seas of a borderless economy, the Internet and turbulent markets. A seismic shift has changed the game: since the days of the Great Man are numbered, virtually anyone can lead now. But how do you breed principled leaders for the 21st century? Is leadership a matter of DNA, culture, or coaching? The answer comes from an unexpected source: the 3,000-year-old tradition of Judaism. Jews are not called the People of the Book by accident. Torah, Talmud and Kabbalah hold life-and-death leadership stories of insurmountable odds, ethical dilemmas, lust and betrayal, and offer astonishingly practical lessons for twenty-first-century managers.

The Rabbi and the CEO provides an insightful "lighthouse" to navigate the dynamic world of leadership and management in the 21st century."
-Dr. Martin Cross, CEO, Novartis-Australia


"I have a pretty short attention span, but I couldn't put this book down. If you lead anything, do yourself a favor: Get this book. It offers a kind of leadership power that is all too often missing in boardrooms and that you simply won't find elsewhere."

-Ali Velshi, CNN senior business correspondent and host of Your $$$$$

Das Buch ist sehr gut geschrieben und hat mir geholfen, eine Führungskraft zu sein. Was für eine Zeitverschwendung meine Arbeit gewesen wäre ohne dieses hilfreiche Werkzeug."

His provocative conclusion, namely that the EU regulatory process is as accountable as its Swiss and US counterparts, turns the conventional wisdom about European integration on its head. A must-read for all those interested in the future of European regulatory policy-making."
