Leaders today face their greatest challenges not only in defining strategies and getting updated information but also in getting diverse human beings to pull together without falling apart. Jesus is a role model for team leaders everywhere. Teach Your Team to Fish offers dozens of stories from the Bible, showing how Jesus managed his team of disciples and other followers, with suggestions for how to apply these lessons to real-world teambuilding and management problems. It offers guidance and inspiration on: * How to excite your team members in order to motivate them * How to ground them so they'll be realistic about what can be achieved * How to transform them into a truly well-functioning team * How to release them into the world to improve teams elsewhere Laurie Beth Jones provides many examples of companies in which teams work well together and offers lessons that can help team leaders everywhere sustain themselves and achieve their common goals.

Love the works that Laurie Beth Jones does with her books -- using scripture and biblical principles to demonstrate just how practical God's Word truly is. In some cases, it is a stretch either bending a verse to support a business principle or bending a business example to fit a verse. Intent is good. Not sure all the wisdom may not have a counter principle that could also be biblically supported. Good read with some notables. ( )
