The document discusses applying the Beatitudes to business by focusing on humility, honestly caring for employees, being teachable, acting with righteousness and justice, showing mercy, keeping motives pure, making peace, and having courage. Each Beatitude is broken down into 3 points focusing on commitments like recognizing deficiencies, caring for employees, being open-minded, and determining to do what is right with singular focus. The Beatitudes provide guidance for business leaders to run their companies through principles like humility, care, accountability, and pursuing righteousness.
