The Leadership Wisdom of Jesus: Practical Lessons for Today

Charles C. Manz

In this new edition of the bestselling classic, Charles Manz doesn't look to Jesus's 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.

The third edition is updated throughout and includes several new examples and a self-assessment chapter designed to encourage self-examination and personal reflection. Remarkably contemporary and welcoming to all readers, this book will challenge you to evaluate your own leadership style and to consider time-tested spiritual wisdom that can make you more enlightened and more effective.
