Jesus, CEO

Jones's guide takes the life and teaching of Jesus as a model for leading a modern team. Rather than treating business as a purely numbers game, she argues that the best leaders begin with their own discipline, then act with purpose, and finally build strong bonds with the people around them. The book shows how a small group of ordinary followers became a lasting movement and asks what that might teach a manager trying to keep a team focused in a fast-changing market.

Practical advice is organized into three parts: mastering yourself, acting with courage and integrity, and nurturing relationships. Each section offers ideas for managing energy, aiming at higher goals than profit alone, and staying persistent when things go wrong. The tone is faith-based and aimed at executives and managers who want guidance grounded in a centuries-old example.
