You're probably wondering what the Bible has to do with leadership. The answer is that the Bible contains information on everything! The Bible is without a doubt the most widely read book in the world. This book is admired for its maxims and teachings, as well as the wisdom it contains and its literary appeal. If you read the Bible carefully and from a different perspective, you will discover that it is also the greatest collection of leadership talent through specific characters, full of extremely valuable and profound lessons for everyone, especially today's leaders and managers. The Bible's stories and characters inspire some of the most universal (but also the worst) examples of leadership in the world.
So, why not put this Bible's leadership wisdom to use in business? I wrote this book specifically for that purpose, revisiting the Bible's most compelling "stories" and comparing them to the challenges that some of today's most successful business leaders face and have faced.
This book is primarily about business, and the majority of the case studies presented here are about business. However, the Bible contains lessons for political, sports, artistic, and even religious leaders. This book will be extremely useful if you are in charge of a business, a political organization, a task force, a sports team, a symphony orchestra, or a religious organization. such as a church or a synagogue (because you have one of the top management tools in the world - the Bible).
Whatever field of leadership you are in, it is my sincere hope that by studying the challenges posed to great biblical leaders, you will gain guidance and inspiration to face your own leadership challenges.
