... Es ist ein mutiges, kontroverses, theoretisch breit abgestutztes und an Anschauungsmaterial reiches Werk. (Peter Fischer, in: NZZ Neue Zurcher Zeitung, 17. Oktober 2015)

Peter Wuffli has been passionate about ethics and globalization long before such engagement became fashionable for corporate leaders. I warmly recommend his book, because it tells an impressive story about the importance and benefits for society of broad engagement across business, politics, and philanthropy. Dr. Ann-Kristin Achleitner, Professor for Entrepreneurial Finance at the Technical University of Munich I closely collaborated with Peter Wuffli over many years at UBS. Based on our common experiences, I found his book fascinating and touching. I particularly enjoyed how he links practical insights gained during the turbulent history of UBS with deep reflections about broader, more general topics. This makes Inclusive Leadership valuable and useful for leadership practitioners across sectors and at all levels. Jurg Zeltner, CEO of UBS Wealth Management I work together with the elea Foundation for Ethics in Globalization to fight rural poverty in Kenya and directly benefit from the bridges that this foundation builds between rich and poor countries and between private sector corporations and entrepreneurial micro-structures with a social purpose. For Peter Wuffli, inclusive leadership is truly about building bridges for important, good causes, and I hope that his book will create awareness about how we all need to collaborate to address the world's big, pressing challenges. Su Kahumbu, Founder of iCow and social entrepreneur in Kenya It is rare - and so important - for corporate leaders with strong roots in the financial industry to reflect on ethics and virtues and to articulate their insights in a coherent and convincing way. Based on my role as a member of the Comite de Patronage of elea Foundation, I am impressed with Peter Wuffli's genuine and passionate engagement and thus highly recommend this thought-provoking and authentic book. Lord Brian Griffiths of Fforestfach, Vice Chairman of Goldman Sachs International Inclusive Leadership combines a fascinating life experience and deep reflections on capitalism, ethics, and virtues. This book, written by a leadership practitioner, is a significant intellectual achievement that should inspire current and future leaders. Phil Gramm, former U.S. Senator from Texas Having been inspired by Peter Wuffli's leadership on my journey to become an entrepreneur, I found his book compelling and of high practical relevance. I sincerely recommend it to both accomplished and developing leaders with entrepreneurial ambitions. Doris Albisser, Entrepreneur & Founder of CLS Communication
