Rumi Verjee: Integrating Spiritual Capital

Excerpt:

Though set against the news of unprecedented bankruptcies, massive bailouts, and turmoil in the markets, Malloch’s book is finally hopeful, for he provides ample examples of companies who are integrating spiritual capital into their organizational culture. A particularly telling story is that of Rumi Verjee, an Ismaili Muslim who came to England as a refugee from East Africa, but found success at Domino’s Pizza, founded by the outspoken Catholic Tom Monaghan. Verjee explains, “Although you can get on by being ruthless, by thinking of nothing but your own profit, and by rejoicing in other’s loss, this is not the way to true success. Compassion is as important in a businessman as in any other human being. It is important not only for others’ sake but also for your own.”
