THE BOOK

"‘ Human Business ‘is a bridge to another economic order."
Gerald Hüther, neurobiologist and author

"People are the key ingredient of any organization.  When treated with respect and dignity, they help their organization succeed in the marketplace.  Thomas does a masterful job reminding us of how to treat people with humanity so that they bring their full energy to work.  The Spirit of Human Business has many exceptional ideas, cases, and tools for anyone committed to creating a more humane workplace."
Dave Ulrich, Rensis Likert Professor, Ross School of Business, University of Michigan; Partner, The RBL Group

“The pandemic has brought forward a realization of the importance of our soft powers that include empathy, compassion, listening and team building. If we want to increase humanity in the workplace, we have to recognize employees as “100% humans and just not resources.” Dr. Juli shares powerful insights and tools to help leaders redirect their strategies during a time when these qualities need to take precedence over just getting it done.”
Shelley Zalis, CEO, The Female Quotient

“Peter Drucker always said that management had a dual responsibility – to make institutions and society both more effective and more humane. Too often in the past, efficiency has ridden roughshod over humanity, which is why we are where we are today, with many organisations a prison for the human soul. Thomas Juli’s book is a direct and timely statement of the need to set the record straight and switch the focus from ‘technology-literate humans to ‘human-literate technology’, as the saying has it. Both thoughtful and practical, ‘The Spirit of Human Business’ is an essential guide to making Drucker’s vision a reality.”
Richard Straub, President, Global Peter Drucker Forum & Peter Drucker Society Europe

“One of the biggest challenges facing the world is sustainability ... of ecosystems, species, natural resources and the environment. It is time we add to this list the vital energy of the human beings who work in our organziations. We must honor, sustain and enrich their human energy. From this joyful energy comes the very essence of what we need the most right now: creativity, imagination, innovation and invention.  In his book, Human Business, author Thomas Juli gives us a guide for sustaining and enriching the energy of the humans in our workplaces. This book is what we need. Right now. Thank you, Thomas, for showing us the way out of the tangled jungle of our current work environments.”
Richard Sheridan, CEO and Chief Storyteller, Menlo Innovations

Marc Buckley, Environmentalist, Regenerative Global Food Reformist, Expert UN & WEF

"Every business IS, and always has been, a social enterprise.  Dr Juli makes similar arguments, but in a much deeper and more compelling way in “The Spirit of Human Business”. Most importantly he notes the digital age amplifies both the opportunities to add great value for those who see the value in his insights or will amplify the risks to those who see business in the traditional way."
Paul Barnett, founder and CEO, Enlightened Enterprise Academy

“The Spirit of Human Business is a call for a new embodiment of the firm. It demands that we embrace ourselves and our colleagues in all of our humanity. It’s a world where men can cry and grown-ups can play, even at the office. At its core is the oldest of moral injunctions; the golden rule: do unto others as you would have done unto yourself. Imbibe this spirit!”
