Praise for If Aristotle Ran General Motors

"If Aristotle Ran General Motors goes to the heart of what makes people and organizations successful. Tom Morris's message is a guide to achieving the highest level of excellence in your company and your career."—Daniel Tully, Chairman, Merrill Lynch

"Tom Morris integrates the timeless wisdom of Greek philosophy—the four transcendent verities: Truth, Beauty, Goodness, and Unity—into the greatest asset of any business, the spirit of its people."—Stephen R. Covey

"Morris's book is not really about either Aristotle or General Motors, but his title effectively takes advantage of the symbolism each suggests . . . Morris's book is a noteworthy addition to the growing number of titles encouraging business to be more humanistic."—Booklist
