It will teach you how to lead the people close to you so they will view their work as a calling rather than merely a job, a place to belong rather than a place to work. It shows leaders how to infuse work with meaning and how to engage, energize, and ignite their workforce and gives employees a better understanding of what makes for a quality work experience.It is a powerful metaphor for leaders that reaches back 5,000 years. It is . . . The Way of the Shepherd.
