Most of us agree a healthy environment matters at work — but Dr. Barrow takes that further, showing that the physical environment is only the beginning. The deeper question is the relationship between leaders and employees, where an imbalance can quietly take hold.

This book brings into focus the sense of humanness that must exist when we adopt attitudes and behaviors that uphold the value of one another — a hopeful, human-centered way to build a workplace where people are valued rather than diminished. Dr. Barrow calls it Philanthropian Leadership.
