Consider David's courage and innovation in slaying Goliath with just a stone and a sling; Moses' outstanding "succession planning" in picking Joshua;
Joseph and the political skills that brought him to the seat of power; and of course, Jesus' compassion, communication skills, and vision that launched Christianity (a long-term success by any measure).
These are leaders among leaders. Their achievements, and their inspired methods of achievement, offer a wholly different perspective on business leadership. For the dozens of Biblical stories presented, the book provides:
A concise retelling of each story.
One (or more) leadership lessons suggested by each story.
Examples of contemporary business leaders who exhibit some of the inspired traits of these ancient leaders, including: Fred Smith of FedEx, Howard Shultz of Starbucks, Tom Chappell of Tom's of Maine (a "toothpaste with a mission"), Roy Vagelos of Merck, and many more.
The chapters cover these universal topics: Courage * Purpose * Communication * Honesty and Integrity * Power and Influence * Performance Management * Team Building * Humility * Compassion * Justice * Encouragement and Consequences * Wisdom * Creating the Future.
Each topic concludes with a list of key points to keep in mind as readers continue on their own leadership journeys.
