Reaching Horizons
When thinking and acting in business become one
This book wants to encourage leaders in a philosophical way and bring them back to the roots of leadership and performance. How as a company leader can you make sure thinking and acting become one? How can an enterprise enhance its innovative power and decisiveness by speaking one language?
On general request of ViCre’s clients, Eddy was asked to collect his thoughts and insights and write them down, resulting in this inspirational book. It’s the reflection of a search for perfect connectedness, leading to contented customers, colleagues, shareholders and a happy family life. Business metaphors and values such as sustainability, authenticity, continuity, agility and resilience are the protagonists on its pages.

This book inspires, makes you think, is sometimes confrontational, sometimes friendly. In its apparent simplicity, it sometimes goes deep into the essence. By taking distance, you sail closer to your goal. Everyone adding to the company within their own responsibilities. Very inviting to get in touch with ViCre.

This work is a particularly successful alloy of business philosophy, ethics, poetry and education. Each chapter encourages reflection and meditation. In our society there is a lot of participation without insight and pronunciation without prospect. Reaching Horizons places signposts and milestones. The book is also therapeutic to some degree. Moreover, the author uses very successful metaphors that expose the invisible.
