Review Summary: The Tao of Jesus for C E O

Details: Laurie introduced this book Jesus CEO for leadership. It is inspirational and motivational in the Christian culture business world. If all Fortune listed companies CEO learn and practice the teaching of this book, there will be no scandal such as Enron & company.
As Christian teaching as it was, the book (P. 59) retold the famous story on the stallion between good and bad, fortune and misfortune without credit to the source - TAOISM. Does the writer respect intellectual property? Her sales agent on human relation (P.72) was an admirable example of concern and care for others. If practice what is preached, there will not be so many homeless or 46 million without health insurance in our country.
She on P.142 rightly pointed out in America, net worth was measured in terms of money in the bank. That is why many rich in wealth but poor in spirit and moral value. Jesus advised the young man to sell off his valuables and gave to the poor in order to follow him for eternal life. He also said how good is it if you earn the whole world and lose the life. That is THUNDER!
The chapter on P.190 titled He Empowered Women with "Some still actively discourage and actually forbid women from taking leadership roles". It is certainly true in business and churches. India, Pakistan and Israel had more women in upper leadership in government. The love policy on P.256 was adopted from Paul. It was a beautiful statement for everyone to work on - parents and children, president and citizens, husband and wife, employer and employee, friend and friend.
Laurie's manual guide advice offers a practical solution at home and at work. Hopefully, Americans follow her advice to set a respectable and moral example. AMEN
