ZBA: Zen of Business Administration

How Zen Practice can Transform Your Work and Your Life WE ARE ALL ZEN STUDENTS, WE ARE ALL BUSINESS PEOPLE In the great Zen tradition of teaching stories, Marc Lesser relates his own personal and professional trials as he navigates the delicate path of managing a successful business while staying true to his spiritual roots. Struggling through a difficult economic climate, he also faces the usual challenges of running a growing company—meeting payroll, balancing cashflow, hiring and firing employees, and maintaining relationships with vendors and customers. Guiding him through these difficulties while providing strength and insight is the practice of Zen.
