Management: A biblical Approach

Just bought this book as I was walking around just now. Was looking for a book to buy as the book entitled " Anointed for Business" by Ed was returned to it's owner... thus was feeling that there isn't much things to read while on the way to work. Thus as I was praying and listening to what book to buy. There were a few books that I saw, familiar books that I already have. There are also books about relationship which I expressed some interest on the title on the cover.

Despite all these book-title-window-viewing, I was prompted to learn about the marketplace. How to be a effective person in the market place also requires some knowledge too. Due to the fact that I am not not really into my current job yet as a donor manager, I felt led to get a book that will help in the way I work. Thus this book, just a few books away from Ed's "Anointed for Business", is this book. And after a glimpse and reading the back content, I just buy it.

On the way home, I read the first chapter: A biblical philosophy of Management. The verse the book quoted to contain the key ingredients of a successful organization is from Gen. 11:1-9: The Tower of Babel. Here are the four key ingredients:
1. Commitment to work on a goal
2. Unity among the people
3. An effective communication system
4. Doing the will of God.

This was the exactly same quotation example that was used for a sermon recently on : Establishing God's economic xxxxx. which include these 4 points
1. Building ourselves a city - Greed
2. Control & Fear-A tower that reaches up to heaven
3. Pride - We make a name for ourselves
4. Rebellion - We will not be scattered over the face of the whole earth.

There are from the biblical perspective. However as both are co-referencing from the Bible. How practical is the Bible. A passage has so much depth into it.

From these 2 view point of this particular passage, it should the word is really like a show magician with many faces. However as one face changes to the other...in the end of the show, the final truth of the face of the person will reveal. And thus too the truth behind this passage.

In one taking of reading this new book, from just one chapter, I took one principle back to apply: The difference between :Management is getting work done through others; Management is meeting the needs of others as they work at accomplishing their jobs.

Servant Leader or Serving Leader. One is the leader of the servant, the other is the characteristic of the leader. One is a position of what is done, the other a position of what is still doing.
