Product Description
Review
"For those in leadership who want to explore the issue of faith and its impact on the way people operate in the workplace, Faith In Leadership is a must–read." (Millard Fuller, founder and president, Habitat for Humanity International)
"This book contains many interesting and practical insights that will be of great value to anyone in a position of business leadership struggling with the relevance of strong Christian convictions in a pluralistic society." (Lord Griffiths of Fforestfach, international adviser, Goldman Sachs International)
"One reason I am grateful for this book is that I learned as much from it about the power of faith as I did about the challenge of leadership. But the most important reason is that it gave me a new vision of how each needs and enriches the other." (Lewis B. Smedes, professor of Christian ethics, emeritus, Fuller Theological Seminary, and author of The Art of Forgiving and Standing on the Promises)
Product Description
Leadership based on faith in God makes for good works, fulfilled workers, and healthy organizations. In this important guide, respected leaders from diverse organizations show how faithfulness and leadership can not only comfortably coincide but successfully combine. They offer real–world examples of how authentic faithfulness supports an organization′s mission, informs core leadership values, provides wisdom for thriving in a chaotic environment, teaches us to share power, and moves us to mentor the next generation of faithful leaders.
Sponsored by the De Pree Leadership Center at Fuller Theological Seminary, Faith in Leadership skillfully merges the hands–on experiences of leaders from broadly varied fields with current research on workplace dynamics. Leaders looking for wisdom on how to live out their faith at work will find Faith in Leadership a pragmatic and inspiring guide.

Highly recommend, 7 July 2001
By L. Vervaecke "Dr Truck" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Faith in Leadership: How Leaders Live Out Their Faith in Their Work and Why it Matters (A Jossey Bass title) (Hardcover)
I do a lot of teaching in the area of leadership - this will be a classic - in my opinion. Robert Banks and the many other contributors, come from a wide range of backgrounds and professions. This book was refreshing - in that the writers actually wrote some new and refreshing thoughts. They have truely written outside the box.
