Have you ever wondered what a Bahá'í-inspired organization might look like? What values and principles guide leaders in creating and managing such enterprises?  In this age of transition from a system of unbridled shareholder capitalism to more socially responsible business practices, the importance of value-based leadership is increasingly recognized.

"To Build Anew" is thus a very timely book. While it draws heavily on Bahá'í writings, it is of equal interest to leaders and managers of all faiths who share this concern about the changing role of business in society. Five Core Enterprise Principles are developed, each well supported by relevant texts: Work for the Betterment of the World; Set the Common Good above Private Interest; Consciously Adhere to Human Virtues; Do What Will Profit You and Others; and Consult in Decision Making.

For managers, young professionals and students of business alike, whatever their faith, this book presents a convincing case for practicing the core values of EBBF and offers numerous practical examples of how this can be achieved.
