The author's view

This book was written with a specific purpose: it was a leadership development project within the Orthodox Church in America. Thus, it is not only a "christian leadership" book, but is also a somewhat religious-specific effort, reflecting the Eastern Christian perspective. With that said, though, most of the religious-specific material is illustrative. I believe the main contribution, for Christians of all sorts who are serious about leadership issues, is to be found in the two primary subjects. The first has to do with the subject of organizational models and the core concept of Christianity: the Holy Trinity. Our contention is that rather than being an abstract theological concept, the Holy Trinity, can be used to deduce the optimal organizational models. The second has to do with the leadership of Jesus Christ: He incarnated the Trinitarian leadership principles in a fashion that is now commonly referred to as "servant leadership". The book was written for the average person by two business men with theological training, and is pretty easy to read.
