By Dr. Amdy Diene

Drawing on figures ranging from King Solomon and Jesus Christ to Prophet Muhammad, and on philosophies spanning the Bhagavad Gita, Zen Buddhism, and Talmudic debate, the book offers leaders a timeless, interfaith framework for navigating today's most complex organizational challenges with purpose, humility, and ethical clarity.
