About this book
This book, the first of two volumes, uses a framework of philosophical anthropology, and the concepts of humanistic leadership and humanistic management, to explore the value of work in the hospitality and tourism industry. It presents robust theoretical and practical implications for professionalism and excellence at work.
This volume addresses the hospitality professional, beginning with an exploration of the foundational literature, before moving on to discuss topics like the concept of human dignity at work, how one can find meaning within the hospitality industry, spirituality at work, philosophy in the world of work, and personal development.
These volumes will be of use to academics and practitioners in the fields of hospitality and tourism management, humanistic and transformational leadership, corporate social responsibility, human resource management, customer service, and workplace spirituality.

Reviews
A wonderful collection of chapters that deliver alternative perspectives in understanding hospitality management. Whether hospitality is art or science or the combination of both has been in the minds of many hospitality authors for years. This book explores both the heart and the mind as well as the soul and delivers as a holistic humanistic approach as one could expect to see in such a book. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it and recommend it to any hospitality philosopher or practitioner that wishes to reflect on the practise of hospitality.
