I recently finished reading Laurie Beth Jones' book Jesus CEO. From the introduction to the book:
"Perhaps you have hear about the Alpha management style--the one based on the masculine, authoritative use of power.
Perhaps you have also heard about the Beta management style--the one based on that feminine, cooperative use of power.
In this book I will introduce what I call the Omega management style--the style that incorporates and enhances them both.
Jesus, CEO: Using Ancient Wisdom for Visionary Leadership is based on three simple premises:
1. One person trained twelve human beings who went on to influence the world that time itself is now recorded as being before (B.C) or after (A.D.) his existence.
2. This person worked with a staff that was totally human and not divine...a staff that in spite of illiteracy, questionable backgrounds, fractious feelings, and momentary cowardice went on to accomplish the tasks he trained them to do. They did this for one main reason--to be with him again.
3. His leadership style was intended to be put to use by any of us."
Whether you are a Christian or not, the book includes some great advice on leadership. So we will mention some of them on occassion here in The Reata BizLetter. I'd be interested in your thoughts.
