Recommendation

Laurie Beth Jones zeroes in on the qualities that made Jesus a successful leader, one of the most respected and beloved in human history. This book introduces you to Jesus, the executive, not Jesus, the religious messiah. The book is not written as a Christian guide to leadership. In fact, it isn’t written as a continuous narrative at all. Jones offers many sayings based on Jesus’ biblical teachings and the qualities he demonstrated. She poses each saying or quotation as a separate lesson accompanied a couple of pages of description and interesting examples. A widely praised, national best seller, this book is engaging, delightfully written, detailed yet concise, and witty. It presents what amounts to a very fleshed-out list of leadership attributes. getabstract recommends this book to managers and leaders, regardless of their religion or cultural identity.

Take-Aways

  • Jesus had the three strengths essential in a successful leader: self-mastery, action, and relationships.
  • The Alpha management style is based on the masculine, authoritative use of power.
  • The Beta management style is based on the feminine, cooperative use of power.
