Anthony Joseph Amaradio Says That Faith Develops Better Leadership Qualities

Oct 13, 2026

Amaradio believes that spirituality can provide valuable guidance for entrepreneurs, encouraging them to build and lead organizations that pursue business success while upholding integrity, ethical responsibility, and compassion.

Aliso Viejo, California, United States, October 13, 2026 -- In today’s competitive business environment, some may question whether religious values have a meaningful place in corporate leadership. However, the experiences of numerous business leaders demonstrate that professional success and a commitment to personal faith and ethical principles can coexist. Among those who embrace this philosophy is Anthony Joseph Amaradio, a financial expert whose faith has helped shape his professional approach, personal values, and philanthropic endeavors. In addition to his work in financial management, Amaradio is a published author of Faithful with Much: Breaking Down the Barriers to Generous Giving, available on Amazon in Kindle, Hardcover, and Paperback editions. Amaradio believes that spirituality can provide valuable guidance for entrepreneurs, encouraging them to build and lead organizations that pursue business success while upholding integrity, ethical responsibility, and compassion.

Maltbie Babcock, a distinguished 19th-century clergyman and writer, famously said, “Business is religion, and religion is business. The man who does not make a business of his religion has a religious life of no force, and the man who does not make a religion of his business has a business life of no character.” One thing that unites all the faiths of the world is that they invariably stress the importance of honesty, integrity, family values, hard work, respect, and generosity, notes Anthony Joseph Amaradio. Some of the largest companies were founded by people who applied these principles both to their private and business lives, the list including Sam Walton (retail giant Walmart), Dave Thomas (burger chain Wendy’s), and James Cash Penney (department store operator J.C. Penny). In addition to drawing on their faith to build thriving enterprises, these leaders were celebrated for their philanthropy and created foundations which have supported countless worthy causes over the decades. In more recent times, devout high-profile executives such as Indra Nooyi (PepsiCo leader from 2001 to 2018), Donnie Smith (head of Tyson Foods, 2009-2016), Pierre Omidyar (founder of eBay), and James Tisch (CEO of Loews Corporation since 1999) have spoken about faith as an integral part of how they run their businesses. They consistently credit religion and spirituality with teaching them to be fair, truthful, generous, socially responsible, ethical, and tolerant – qualities that have shaped their professional decisions and earned them a place in the ranks of the most successful corporate leaders of modern times.

One person uniquely qualified to discuss the positive impact of faith on leadership and work practices is Reverend Scotty McLennan, who is also a lawyer, book author, public speaker, and lecturer in political economy at the Stanford Graduate School of Business. As he remarked in an interview, “Business people spend the majority of their waking hours at work, and many of them want to find it meaningful. Many also want to conduct their business affairs ethically, and most of us worldwide learn our ethics through our religious traditions or through philosophical understanding of morality that we inherit from our families, education, and surrounding culture.” McLennan believes that leaders who integrate spirituality and ethical commitments into their professional lives build more successful business ventures and deliver greater satisfaction to customers and company stakeholders.

Financial expert and dedicated philanthropist Anthony Joseph Amaradio is the founder and leader of Select Portfolio Management Inc. and Select Money Management Inc., where he employs an innovative integrated strategy to maximize results for clients. Following the receipt of a BBA from the University of Michigan and an MBA from the University of Detroit, he commenced his career in the financial services industry, developing his talent over time to garner a stellar reputation and become recognized as a visionary and an inspirational leader. He and his wife, Carin, are passionate supporters of charitable causes and are often invited to speak at events hosted by non-profit organizations, many of which rely on his expertise to optimize their capacities and thus improve their effectiveness.
