Powerful truths seldom practiced

As a 20-year veteran of global sales training, leadership development and communications training, I found this book to be profoundly important. The lessons in leadership and communication that were taught by Christ are just as relevant today as they were in Palestine over 2000 years ago. And they will remain so eternally.

Great for new managers and old who care for their followers

I am a Christian and was looking for a book on managagement that would help me to be a good leader and also help me learn to creatate a win-win type situation. I found that this book confurmed that what I have been doing in regard to my leadership style is how God would have me to be. I have to say that Mr. Manz stretches for the passage and the subject to meet, He in the most part does a very good job. I would recemmened this book to everyone, leader or not .It give good advice on how we should treat people.

Outstanding lessons in sound leadership practice.

I enjoyed Manz's perspective on leadership. In the age of mergers, aquisitions, and emphasis on the bottom line, Manz offers sound leadership for the business executive based on the fundamental wisdom of Jesus Christ. The subject manner offers huge challenges for the executive of today. Ideas such as lead by serving, passiveness, lifting up employees, and leadership through example are all sound but seem to be huge challenges in todays world. Those who are critical are unwilling to accept the challenge but it does work. It is refreshing to see a perspective based solely on the truth. Leadership based on the truth will not fail and I congradulate Dr. Manz on his stance and his thoughts.
