THE MONK WHO BECAME CEO - 1000 YEARS OF ATHORIAN MANAGEMENT

It is a book that aims to highlight Athonian management as a business revelation, which, having completed more than 10 centuries of uninterrupted applied success, can become the model for a new strategy and a new orientation in the philosophy of a modern company.
- What was it that caught the eye of a technocrat visiting Mount Athos?
- How close to the modern business world is the Monastic State on the Athos Peninsula?
- How valid is the reduction of Mount Athos to a multinational company and how applicable is the structure and organization of a monastery to a modern business?
- Can the secrets of successful management be hidden in Athonian Management?
- What are the hidden truths of the monks that make their activity obviously successful and envied even by the biggest names of the domestic and international business community?
The aim of the book is not to reveal the golden key to success in management. After all, no one can promise a sure-fire recipe in an ever-changing economic environment.
However, what is the reason and the ambition is to highlight Athonian Management as a business revelation, which, having completed more than 10 centuries of uninterrupted applied success, can be the model of a new strategy and a different orientation in the philosophy of a modern company.
It is no coincidence that Mount Athos is among the most powerful brand names worldwide and this in itself makes it a very interesting case study.
After all, the seed of knowledge is always more valuable than its fruit and in this respect, the Monk who became CEO can be an important stimulus for new approaches in the field of “good business”.
