Reflections from the Incredible Transformation

Work can quickly fill our lives, without necessarily fulfilling them. Can management insights help us in our pursuit of fulfilment from life as a whole? This is an exploration in lateral thinking between business life and spiritual life. Each left-hand page outlines a business lesson from the author's management novel, The Incredible Transformation of Gregory Todd. Each right-hand page reflects the same essence, applied to the quest for fulfilment from life as a whole. These reflections have been designed to stand alone: it is not necessary to have read the novel first. A J Sheppard practises the art of transforming business operations, using skills he developed with Shell, Crown Cork, McKinsey & Company and as an independent advisor. The inspiration for this book comes from the many parallels between lessons he has encountered in business and discoveries he has made through investigating the teaching of Jesus. For example, just as his first business transformation took him by surprise when he should have known better, so did his first significant spiritual encounter. These reflections can be enjoyed as a thoughtful celebration of fullness in life - and as a guide towards it.
