Recommendation

In 1982, Ken Blanchard, co-author of The One-Minute Manager, had a spiritual awakening and embraced Christianity, which he reports immeasurably improved his life. He and co-author Phil Hodges share their spiritual journey through teaching readers about servant leadership. They combine business, self-help and inspirational themes as they explain their approach. The biblical quotations and large text blocks can make the reading experience seem choppy, albeit worthwhile. Blanchard and Hodge’s discussion of applying faith to the work world speaks extensively of Christianity and its beliefs.

Take-Aways

  • The modern world seeks to separate the spiritual from the secular.
  • Spiritual teachings offer guidance on how to lead. 
  • For a basic leadership plan, turn to Jesus’s servant leadership principle that it is better to give than receive.
