MASTERING MONDAY

Connecting with God can help a company balance its financial interests with more distinctly human values, says the author, who has been thinking about such issues for a lifetime. When Beckett started work in his father's plant, he believed that profitable business practices contradict a life with God. In this production he uses Bible stories and his own CEO experiences to show how these two worlds can come together. The author's narration lacks tonal and emotional range, but he comes across as a genuine and spiritual man. Though the biblical references make the audio sound more philosophical than business-oriented, he covers a lot of ground regarding such issues as corporate excess, corruption, pride, devaluing people, and abusing influence.
