The Inspired Manager - by Shabeer Ahmad and Maaz Gazdar The Inspired Manager is a concise handbook for Management based on Islamic principles. Islam offers sound management principles that have worked in the past, and will continue to work in the future. Taken from the Noble Qur’an and the practical example of Prophet Muhammad (may peace be upon him), these principles have been applied for over a thousand years. In the era of globalisation where managers often find themselves managing a diverse blend of people across continents, including Muslims from countries spanning from Morocco to Malaysia, there is a need for universal principles for management. Islam offers such principles. Through making the Inspired Manager a central character, this handbook illustrates the Islamic principles and best practices that any manager can adopt for successful management. Who are the authors?
