Summary: The real heart of leadership
Review: This book is an outstanding quick read book that can serve to reground any leaders view of the world. Leadership is all about caring, nourishing and fostering and in simple examples we've all heard before it re-enforces leading with good intentions. I've shared this book numerous times to set a tone of leadership that I would want to work for in the future. Why it is not on Harvard's executive reading list is beyond me.

Summary: For budding leaders
Review: 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.

Summary: Excellent book
Review: This is an excellent book. I was searching for ways to improve myself since I had about 1 more week at my job, I am going through a crummy relationship, and my grandmother(a 2nd mother to me), just passed away 1 week before christmas. This book explored many areas of my life which desperately needed improvement. After reading the 1st chapter, I felt energized and could hardly wait to get things together in my life. I believe in myself now and feel that Jesus is behind me all of the way. It also made me feel more connected with Jesus because this book uses him as the ultimate example. This book is not only a "manual" for success, it's also a book of comfort. Thank you Laurie Beth..excellent job.

Summary: Especially insightful for women in business
Review: This tape is easy-listening, yet motivational and inspiring. The subject matter may help many women address the need for having purpose and meaning in their career. The author speaks as a friend and an intelligent, experienced leader. How fabulous to have modern-day business focus successfully on time-tested principles of Truth from the author of life Himself!

Summary: a great gift idea
Review: When I started reading this book I threw out all the other daily meditation books that had been collecting dust on my shelf. This is the most practical daily compass for aligning professional and spiritual goals that I have found.I was so excited about finding it that I purchased copies for several friends, some of whom share my religious beliefs and some who do not. All share a professional vision for their respective industries: real estate sales, advertising, banking and merchandising. They all found it enormously helpful, and one ended up purchasing a copy for a CEO who was interviewing her for a management position (she landed that job). I recommend this book strongly. It contains effective and immediately applicable ideas for leadership and serves as a reminder to how closely our lives and daily challenges mirror those faced by Jesus....and how to triumph WITH others, not over them.

Summary: contradiction
Review: While I find this book to be very insightful into the way one SHOULD lead their executive and business lives. The fact that Jesus was a leader but only to those who followed his public humiliation, spearing, and crucifixion brings into doubt the potency of his leadership qualities in today's society where contrarians are also left crucified. While I am a devout Christian, and believe in his leadership for those who followed him, I certainly do not want to be a martyr in my executive or business life. Moreover, Jesus was not on the mission to which Ms. Jones prescribes -- he died for sins, and in that way could not exercise leadership which would allow him to accomplish the mission Ms. Jones prescribes but did allow him to complete his real mission -- singularly and not in a leadership role. Living as a Christian does not mean that I must be crucified too - Christ did that for me. In sum, a little impractical in the physical world in which we live. Regards. Jason at Yale University
