What in heaven does the Bible have to do with leadership? Everything!The Bible is probably the most widely-read book in the world. It is revered for its religious precepts and guidance, its wisdom, and its literary beauty. Read carefully and with another perspective, it is also the greatest collection of leadership case studies ever written, with tremendously useful and insightful lessons for today’s leaders and managers.

They form some of the major archetypes of our collective consciousness and can serve as universal examples of leadership at its best (and worst).
