“There is nothing noble in being superior to another man,
true nobility is being superior to your former self.”
Meetingmax June Book of the Month was If Aristotle Ran
General Motors by Tom Morris. This book was recommended to us by one of the
thought leaders at this year’s MIT Entrepreneurial Masters Program for the
Entrepreneurs Organization, which Jeff Duncan ,
MMX President, attended this spring.
This philosophical novel applies everyday business practices
to the wisdom of Aristotle, as well as the thoughts of other great philosophers.
Morris notes how companies most valuable assets are people and their
relationships determine the success or failure of a business.
The novel speaks of 4 guiding principles: Truth, Beauty,
Goodness and Unity and the corresponding 4 dimensions of human experience:
Intellect, Aesthetic, Moral and Spiritual.
Meetingmax scored this book 9/10 on a scale where 1 equals a
book with little value one would not wish to read again, and 10 equals a
fantastic book with the ability to grow an individual personally,
professionally or both.
