From the Author
Why Manage By Proverbs?
My MBA students have long tired of chasing the management "flavor of the month." This is especially true of the more seasoned veterans who populate my employee management course. Truth be told, they've got a point. There's always been a lot of flash-in-the-pan advice out there from the board room and from academia on the "new path" to competitive advantage, but little of it is transcendent. It may work today, but what about tomorrow? Isn't there any managerial theory that is time-honored? Isn't there anything available that will add value this year, next year, and every year thereafter? There is. And it's found in the timeless wisdom of God's word. The practical Book of Proverbs, from the Old Testament canon, affords us insights into human relations that apply in any generation, in any industry, in any economy. I have attempted to tap these scriptures in an effort to construct that elusive managerial theory -- God's supernatural theory of how to be a Godly and effective manager. The book is written in user-friendly prose and filled with stories of large and small companies that have implemented Proverbs' wisdom. It also, on occasion, uses the academic literature to demonstrate that Proverbs' business directives have indeed been empirically tested three millennia after Solomon's ink dried.
