The Leadership Wisdom of Jesus: Practical Lessons for Today
The idea that a happy workforce is an effective one isn't new. However, organizational consultant Manz (Business Without Bosses, Wiley, 1993) brings a fresh approach to the concept, showing how the deeper vision of the gospels can teach business leaders to emphasize commitment over a bottom-line agenda by recognizing the value and contribution of every individual. Applying lessons from Jesus' parables to the corporation, Manz illustrates the effectiveness of "mustard-seed power": that truthfulness, humility, compassion, forgiveness, and love are the farthest-reaching approaches a leader can use to inspire others to contribute their best work efforts. Written for a broad audience, this is suitable for both public and corporate libraries.Copyright 1998 Reed Business Information, Inc.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
