 | Moses; C.E.O. by Robert L. Dilenschneider
Competing in the global marketplace, feeling at home with constant technological innovation, the growing gap between the haves and the have-nots, environmental deterioration and aging are just a few of the problems we are all currently faced with. But, the obstacle which most threatens our very definition of ourselves as `human beings` is the ambiguity, about values. We are plagued with an epidemic of self-absorption, lack of self-control, persecution of those who are different than we are, conspicuous consumption, fear of the future and the inability to make a long-term commitment. Moses: C.E.O. presents the traits of the Biblical Leader -- the very traits of leadership and values needed by 2 lst-century mankind in business and personal dealings alike ... -- Examine the paradox that the greatest leaders are also brilliant followers. -- Reflect on great leaders` understanding of their limitations and mistakes and most importantly, how they made up for them. -- Explore the notion that leadership is most tested when the chips are down. -- Learn how to handle the responsibility of power in both professional and personal situations.
