This is because ‘management’ does not exist—the academic study of ‘management science’ and the assumption that there are universal management skills are bogus. This book shows how modern management practices have all but destroyed politics, education, culture and religion—modern management is the cause of our national malaise.

Ce livre offre des perspectives bibliques sur la question du leadership ainsi que sur les différents aspects nécessaires que Dieu veut voir dans la gestion de son agenda non pas le notre.
