Perfect Leadership e-bog

Faced with a difficult business turnaround, the author, 46 at the time, sought help from his pastor who connected him with Christian executives who were using the Bible to run their businesses. These contacts yielded a biblical foundation for leadership based on Isaiah 9: 6-7a. Three aspects of this scripture are very important - Son, Government and Promises. Son refers to Jesus, Government refers to how we lead, and the Promises are wonderful, counselor, mighty God, everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace. Acting on the advice of the Christian executives and his newfound way of understanding God's Word, Mr. Cooper developed and implemented seven (7) Compelling Leadership Principles, applying them to the turnaround challenge. The holy grail of superior business results, employee engagement, was maximized.
