Recommendation

Each chapter this book begins with a quote or parable from Jesus, and goes on to show how his teachings can apply to leadership today. Author Charles C. Manz uses a mix of personal and professional examples to illustrate this principle. His theme is that effective leaders should apply compassion, humility and caring for others to their daily conduct, using Jesus as an example. He asserts that doing the right and moral thing will result in long-term success. Manz avoids preaching or proselytizing, so the book can appeal to a broad spectrum of readers – whether or not they are religious, or even Christian. The text generally is well written, short and to-the-point. getAbstract recommends this book for those interested in a new perspective on traditional concepts. It offers new ideas (based on ancient fundamentals) for developing a more empowering and effective leadership style.

Take-Aways

  • You can become a wise, effective leader by applying Jesus’ constructive and compassionate approach.
  • Your goal is to empower others to unleash their talents and abilities.
  • To perform effectively in the long run, appeal to the "inner truth" of each person.
