It seems like many people put business and faith in two separate boxes, considering them entirely different topics of discussion. Greg and I completely disagree—the Bible is a resource for all areas of our lives, from the board room to the living room. That’s why we wrote our Business By The Book series. This is a guide to help you apply biblical principles to the corporate world. In today’s episode we preview the first book in this series: Business by the Book: What the Bible says about a CEO’s vision-casting.
- [0:00] Introduction
- [2:10] What does it mean for the leader to cast vision for his or her organization?
- [3:07] Here’s what you can expect from Business by the Book—What the Bible says about a CEO’s vision-casting
- [4:13] After a leader has cast a vision, that leader then needs to empower his or her entire team to help them achieve the vision.
- [6:46] Leaders must be self-aware of their strengths and weaknesses, and help their teammates learn about themselves as well.
- [9:06] Organization chart maneuvering can help empower teammates to accomplish great things. And I also share a teaser about a new project on which Greg is working.
- [10:26] Greg talks about two vastly different roles: Commander and Includer.
- [12:27] I share an excerpt from a chapter that Greg wrote in this book, and then Greg elaborates on how this helps a team pursue the vision.
- [16:37] Leaders can move from doing to facilitating, which will help others set up into new roles.
- [18:21] Some counsel for leaders who are first time vision-casters.
