In this new edition of the bestselling classic, Charles Manz doesn't look to Jesus’ teachings to support preconceived theories of how a manager should lead, but approaches the New Testament with an open mind to see what insights it reveals for today's business world. What he finds are powerful lessons that will inspire you – no matter what your religious background – to maintain integrity, live on a higher plane, and ultimately achieve your personal and professional goals.
This revised and expanded edition includes a new preface, a chapter on how to address issues like accountability and justice in relation to compassion and forgiveness, and suggestions for classroom use. It also features more insightful examples of leadership wisdom in practice.
Remarkably contemporary, this book will challenge you to evaluate your own leadership style and to consider time-tested spiritual wisdom that can make you more effective. With new examples and new insights, this expanded edition reveals a new path to effective leadership.
