True happiness is not attained by becoming wealthy, but by living virtuously, that is, by pursuing personal excellence. Although we need money to obtain the necessities of life, money is not the purpose of our lives. Living a virtuous life does not mean sacrificing one's personal good, but rather recognizing that one's personal good is inseparable from the common good, the good of the communities to which one belongs. For business managers, the virtuous life means living virtuously not only outside the office, but also during working hours. Contributive justice directs acts of all the moral virtues to the common good; managerial prudence decides the appropriate means to good ends. For Christian managers, the virtuous life also includes the theological virtues: faith, hope and charity. (fragment of text)
