Product Details
Lead Like a Monk, by Anselm Grün, OSB, writes how true leadership is not about power, status, and titles. According to the Rule of St. Benedict, true leadership is about awakening creativity in others and building an environment of trust and respect. Leading Like a Monk shows how leadership is less about maximizing profits and more about finding meaning. As a 160 page paperback, Leading Like a Monk measures 4-1/2”W x 7-1/4”H. Leading Like a Monk shows how radical this 6th century rule was in its own time and unfortunately, it appears radical again in modern times as power grabbing rises.
Therefore, we need the clear, simple approach to leadership that St. Benedict laid out to apply wherever we find ourselves because it is concerned with the qualities of a leader. Leading Like a Monk shows how we need to work on ourselves in order to be able to lead at all since it is what overrules any methods and strategies. As an insightful book, Leading Like a Monk offers practical wisdom on all aspects of leadership, including:
- The Qualities of a Leader
- Benedict’s View of Human Nature
- Awakening Creativity
- Management of Material Possessions
- Respecting Boundaries
- Thinking from the Hear
- Avoiding Workaholism
Benedict’s rule does not moralize or preach. It shows how economic function and economic security for a large number of people can be combined with respecting creation and the human beings around us. Leadership is an art, full of challenges but also deeply satisfying. Whether you lead a business, a family, a non-profit, or a church group, Leading Like a Monk will help you discover the joy of leadership and create a sanctuary where a group of people mobilize their spiritual resources, ask relevant questions, love, trust, and respect one another.
