Text of Note

Honesty and Integrity : Samuel, Paul, and Isaiah are among many biblical leaders demonstrating this quality. James Burke, Warren Buffett, and Herb Kelleher offer business models --Purpose : Biblical heroes include Moses, who led his people to the Promised Land, Hezekiah, and Queen Esther. Among exemplary business leaders are Steve Jobs, Fred Smith, and Anita Roddick -- Kindness and Compassion : Jesus, who gave us the Golden Rule, as well as David, the Good Samaritan, and other biblical models. Admirable business leaders include Howard Schultz, Aaron Feuerstein, and Roy Vagelos -- Humility : Peter, who said "I am only a man myself," the long-suffering Job, and others exemplify this trait. Modern examples include Larry Bossidy, Ray Gilmartin, and Charles Pollard -- Communication : Joshua (with his horn as well as his words), Ezra, and Luke were great communicators. Examples from the world of business include Andy Grove, Sam Walton, and Mary Kay Ash -- Performance Management : Noah, Solomon, and Jeremiah were masters of encouragement and discipline. Lou Gerstner, Gordon Bethune, and Jack Stack are among the business leaders known for being firm but fair -- Team Development : Biblical leaders didn't use the term power, but Nehemiah was one of the many who understood the power of working in groups. Modern exemplars include Hal Rosenbluth, Michael Eisner, and professional basketball coach Phil Jackson -- Courage : Courage is perhaps the most striking characteristic of biblical leaders, with Daniel and the trio of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego among many who overcame fear to embrace risk for a greater good. Among leaders of our time are Rudolph Giuliani, Steve Case, and Peter Brabeck-Letmathe -- Justice and Fairness : James and Joseph were great believers in giving others their "fair share." In the business context, leaders like Walter Haas, Jr., Max De Pree, and Paul O'Neill have exhibited this characteristics -- Leadership Development : The greatest leaders, Jesus and Moses in biblical times, Jack Welch and Roger Enrico in modern times, ensured that their "organizations" would thrive long after them by their commitment to developing leaders who would renew and carry on their mission.
