Overview

An inspirational guide for business managers combines spiritual and professional advice on how to work with and motivate others as a means of accomplishing shared goals and achieving economic success.

Synopsis

In this inspiring but intensely practical guide, best-selling author Laurie Beth Jones captures the wisdom of Jesus in simple strategies that are as essential to the spiritual and professional health of business today as they were to the whole world thousands of years ago.

With her signature warmth and wit, Jones will show you how to:

  • Draw on the Three Strengths of Jesus for better relationships, self-mastery, and targeted action
  • Create the Omega Style—a new, spiritually uplifting style of leadership
  • Pose soul-searching questions to help reevaluate your role in the workplace, such as: What deed that you've done today would you want to see multiplied? What are your internal anchors? How and when have you turned back to help someone else cross the finish line?
  • Use the Wisdom of the Bible as the cornerstone of each business decision

Management consultant Jones draws on the leadership techniques of Jesus Christ to provide guidance tips on inspiring and managing others. (Apr.)

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. [Previewed in Prepub Alert, LJ 9/1/94.]-Andrea C. Dragon, Coll. of St. Elizabeth, Convent Station, N.J.
