Synopsis

In today's rapidly changing global business arena, undaunted leadership seems as fleeting as yesterday's software. Yet the wisdom of one reluctant leader, Moses, has grown more relevant with each passing century. In MOSES ON MANAGEMENT, nationally renowned spiritual leader and businessman Rabbi David Baron draws surprising parallels between the world of Moses and our own, and conveys fifty wise lessons for the modern business manager, including: * How to cure your staff 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. In a time of downsizing, mergers and increasing uncertainty in the marketplace, MOSES ON MANAGEMENT is an invaluable resource for finding and sustaining a deeply satisfying balance between life and livelihood.
