50 Leadership Lessons from the Greatest Manager of All Time
Today's rapidly changing global business arena has made undaunted leadership as fleeting as yesterday's software. Yet the wisdom of one reluctant leader -- Moses -- has grown more relevant with each passing millennium. In Moses On Management, Rabbi David Baron -- a nationally renowned spiritual leader and successful entrepreneur-draws surprising parallels between the world of Moses and our own. Through Bible passages, amusing anecdotes, interviews with visionary leaders, and his own insights, Rabbi Baron conveys fifty powerful lessons for today's business managers, including:

how to bring your staff out of the slave mentality

why negotiating face-to-face brings optimum results

why symbols of strength inspire extraordinary effort

why crises are an open door to change -- and empowerment

how to use the willing minority to motivate others

why it's essential to make your staff into believers

how to balance zero tolerance with 100 percent compassion

In a time of downsizing, mergers, and increasing uncertainty in the market place, Moses On Management is an in valuable resource for finding and sustaining a deeply satisfying balance between life and livelihood.

This insightful book applies its moral lessons to the world of business and management. Dr. Warren Bennis distinguished professor of business, University of Southern California, and coauthor of "Organizing Genius and Co-Leaders" David Baron reveals in this book how one of the world's greatest leaders provides useful and creative lessons for all of today's leaders. His incarnation of Moses' unparalleled leadership is useful, creative and readable, a very practical guide for today's managers. Nathaniel Branden, Ph.D. author of "Self-Esteem at Work" Lucidly and entertainingly written, Rabbi Baron's book...is rich on wisdom and the kind of simple insights that stimulate the mind. This is an original and exciting contribution to the literature of management. Albert Madansky H.G.B. Alexander professor of business administration, Graduate School of Business, University of Chicago These valuable lessons constitute a core upon which one can build a comprehensive of management derived from the Old and New Testaments. Dr. Art Ulene author of the "Feeling Fine" series The story of Moses' trials and triumphs is an ideal theme for Rabbi Baron. He has a unique talent for making audiences feel the connection between past and present, for showing them the Old Testament in a new and vibrant light.
