Product Description

From Library Journal
The author, the owner of a marketing, advertising, and business development firm, examines the life of Jesus and gleans from it useful advice for leaders of businesses and other formal organizations. She observes that Jesus was particularly strong in three areas: self-mastery, action, and relationships. Using each of these strengths as a title for a section in the book, she reflects on various aspects of his life and teachings. Although some Christians might be surprised by some of her theological interpretations, e.g., one chapter is titled "He Kept in Constant Contact with his Boss," others will find this book a novel approach to the old problem of making Christian teachings relevant to modern organizational life. A similar but nonreligious approach to encouraging humane leadership is Keshavan Nair's A Higher Standard of Leadership: Lessons from the Life of Gandhi (LJ 12/1/84). Recommended for public libraries.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Practical Applications Oriented as well as Wisdom Filled,
By Julie Jordan Scott "Writer, Life Coach - Owne... (Bakersfield, CA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Jesus Ceo (Paperback)
Laurie Beth Jones breaks her discussion of Jesus' Ancient Wisdom of Leadership into three sections: Self Mastery, Action and Relationships.The short, punchy chapters in this book make it the perfect daily companion. I really appreciate how Jones shares examples and illustrations from Bible references as well as bringing in people like Georgia O'Keefe and Dan Millman and others. Each chapter concludes with a question or two (several have quite a few) which allow the integration and application of the principles in that chapter. I could definitely see taking a chapter a day and really studying and applying as I go about living my life, working my business, etc.
5.0 out of 5 stars
A primer for those seeking to understand Leadership,
By Thomas J Carroll (Algonquin, IL United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Jesus Ceo (Paperback)
I picked this book up in an airport bookshop, with no preconceived notions of what it might be. In my search to become a better leader, I found the book compelling and was unable to put the book down. I do not claim to be a biblical scholar and this book didn't require it. Simply, this book is a good primer for a leader looking to understand what leadership is.
5.0 out of 5 stars
For budding leaders,
By Lady from KC (Kansas City, MO) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Jesus Ceo (Paperback)
This book is great. I am going to read it a second time to highlight all the great parts. Not only is it great for current leaders in all areas of life, it is great for people who are budding leaders. Much of the perspective of leadership from Jesus' example can be applied to parenting and other interpersonal relationships.
