Michael Hendren’s seminal new book, Spiritual Capitalism, defines a powerful and paradigm shifting business philosophy. It takes businesses and individuals into a level of Quantum Corporate Performance^TM and Quantum Sales Performance^TM while demonstrating how work can enhance the meaning of one’s life. It incorporates leading-edge thinking by integrating behavioral psychology and business acumen in a fashion that provokes radical transformation while acknowledging the individual’s spirituality.

His dramatic personal story of overcoming a childhood laced with extreme poverty and abuse to reach the pinnacle of professional and financial achievement combines compelling inspiration with a definitive guide to implementing the business practices responsible for his extraordinary success.

As the sales leader of the fastest growing company in the history of American business, he brings impeccable, real-world credentials to the challenge all companies face in generating sustained aggressive growth and profitability against severe competitive environments.

After an already exceptional business career, he led Ascend Communications, a small company facing giant competitors, to record levels of performance. As its Executive Vice President for Worldwide Field Operations, he took the company in only six years from $12 million to $1.6 billion in sales, from 30 to over 3,000 employees, and to a market value of $24 billion. After the company was sold to Lucent Technologies, he retired a multi-millionaire to become a full-time Dad, study world theology, and write about his unique life and professional experience.

The book focuses on the 10 Commandments of Spirtual Capitalism:

5. Develop Management Into An Art – of grace, elegance, and efficacy

7. Transcend To The Higher Level – no excuses, no politics, no avoiding accountability, no b.s. – just extraordinary performance in an invigorating and supportive environment
