Frank, realistic, and fi rmly grounded in practicality, Mother Teresa's leadership style helped to inspire and organize people across the world. This book shares eight essential leadership principles drawn from Mother Teresa's example and applies them to today's business world. Authors Ruma Bose, an entrepreneur who volunteered with Mother Teresa, and Lou Faust, a leading business expert, are the fi rst to examine her in this light-as a leader whose management style and dedication to a singular vision led to one of the world's most unlikely success stories.Mother Teresa may have been a saint, but her spectacular success was the simplicity of her vision and in how she handled tough choices-like accepting donations from brutal Haitian dictator Francois "Papa Doc" Duvalier. These were the principles that made her the great leader of a global organization, and they can be applied by anyone in any organization-no sainthood required.
