Courage, wisdom, and justice
Asger Trier Engberg gathers five Danish leaders to explore the importance of courage, wisdom, and justice, as stated by Plato. They discuss how these values influence leadership through the lens of their diverse experiences. The participants include leaders from various fields like Christian Stadil of Hummel and former CEO Karin Verland, engaging in philosophical dialogues ranging from Buddhism to Christian and Renaissance philosophy. The discussions are rooted in personal experiences and historical insights, aiming to reconnect with classical philosophers like Plato, Socrates, and Aristotle. The book, published by Schultz Publishing, delves into how these timeless values continue to shape leadership in the modern era.
This book is currently only available in Danish.
The great leadership
Asger Trier Engberg has written this book in the light of Greek and Roman philosophy – an ideology which found the European civilization, and has inspired philosophers, kings, democrats, scientists and business people – since Socrates asked his tough questioning on the square in Athens. We have rediscovered the philosophical ideas many times – and each time they have moved us forward. Philosophy is not just a passing fashion ideology but a set of positive, dynamic and good principles that work. Follow back to philosophy’s roots, meet Aristotle, Plato, Socrates, Marcus Aurelius, Hume, Kant, Kirkegaard, Niels Bohr and Loegstrup. Do it because philosophy is:
- Practicable
- Simple, efficient, positive, forward-looking and easy to understand.
- Mold a solid theoretical foundation in the discussion of concepts, discipline, justice, freedom with responsibility, solidarity, ethical leadership and common sense.
- Is fully tested and has already inspired the development of paradigmatic dimensions
And because – only through a deeper understanding of the world, the most difficult of all arts succeed – to lead other people.
