The rich lessons of the Bible can be your leadership
guidebook.
Successful leaders don t rely solely on natural charisma and
organizational authority as their tickets to success. Successful
leadership is a learned art form and a developed discipline. You
can master the art of leadership by examining the pitfalls and
achievements of past leaders and penetrating the stories of our
cultural and religious heritage. The Bible is the ultimate resource
for learning by example: its stories of family relationships,
political beginnings and even divine encounters provide valuable
lessons about leading effectively.
In this empowering guidebook, Nathan Laufer walks you through
the stories at the very beginning of the Bible to examine the
portraits of leadership success and failure they contain. He
reveals the life-affirming values that the Bible uses to measure
its leaders beginning in the Garden of Eden; analyzes the ups and
downs in Abraham s, and later Joseph s, leadership journeys; and
scrutinizes the many challenges faced by Moses and God in the books
of Exodus and Numbers.
Laufer draws out from Bible stories the lessons we can use every
day lessons not only of exemplary leadership, but also of failing
to lead, leading with no direction and leading in the wrong
direction or to a destructive destination. Through Laufer s
interpretive lenses, these ancient stories come alive to inform and
inspire our leadership today and offer us direction for the
future.
Nathan Laufer helps us see the stories of the Bible] in new
ways, he turns them into universal paradigms that relate to
situations we all face every day, and he distills his insights into
practical and powerful guidelines. There is no algorithm for
leadership, no cookbook recipe, but it is hard to imagine a leader
at any level of an enterprise whose capabilities will not be
enhanced by studying this book. from the Preface by Dr. Michael
Hammer
