Leadership by the Good Book

Timeless Principles for Making an Eternal Impact

By: David L. Steward, Brandon K. Mann

Narrated by: Brandon K. Mann, Lou Watson

Leadership by the Good Book will inspire, empower, and equip men and women to lead their businesses, their teams, their ministries, and even their families to greater heights and to have an eternal impact.
For David L. Steward, founder and chairman of World Wide Technology, his philosophy for building a successful business is simple and founded on a Biblical principle: "For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve" (Mark 10:45 NIV). As a business leader, he says, the first priority is to serve employees.
Together with Brandon K. Mann, these two leaders distill their wisdom in this field guide for leaders who want to bring respect, integrity, honesty, and trust to the workplace. Steward and Mann draw from personal experiences as well as share insights and examples of how God's Word has informed and influenced their leadership. Each chapter ends with a section titled Your Leadership Flywheel: Learn, Live, Lead, Legacy, which includes self-reflection questions, application of biblical principles, as well as a prayer.

Critic reviews

"Through a collection of stories, David Steward captures the essential elements of what it takes to successfully lead people. Serve, love, risk, invest, trust, and so much more beautifully form a leadership template that you'll immediately want to replicate. But not so fast-let this book minister to you as God, through David, not only refines your leadership style but reconnects you with Him, the ultimate business advisor. Leadership by the Good Book has changed my life."—Cynt Marshall CEO, Dallas Mavericks

Exceptional - Just what I needed

This is an exceptional book. I have the audio and the hardcopy. I've already began to make adjustments based on the Biblical nuggets I've received from this gem. I'm gathering my crew for a BBT Study group based on the Biblical Principles laid out in this great read. Thank you Mr. Stewart. God bless.

Thank you Servants - Well done.
