Business at Its Best: Timeless Wisdom from Proverbs for Today's Workplace - Paperback

by Robert J. Tamasy (Author)

What is the best book on business you've ever read? Thousands of business books have been written and are readily available today, and many are excellent. They come in a variety of forms - self-help and how-to's, autobiographies and biographies, principle-based narratives, allegories, historical perspectives, and many more. But as author Robert J. Tamasy asserts, no book offers more practical, relevant wisdom for the 21st century workplace than the ancient book of Proverbs. In this newly revised and expanded edition, "Business At Its Best," Bob builds a strong case for Proverbs - and principles from other books of the Bible - being the best resource ever written for men and women in the business and professional world. Over 53 concise chapters, he explores important, contemporary workplace topics such as leadership, integrity, competition, communications, decision-making, busyness, finances, dishonesty, teamwork, pride and humility, anger, generosity, hiring and firing, planning, goal-setting, wisdom, diligence, persistence, problem-solving, discernment, spirituality, listening, and even gossip. Following each chapter, Bob provides a page of questions, "Putting It into Practice," designed for personal reflection and group interaction, to apply principles presented to everyday situations. Individuals and teams of business and professional people all around the globe have found these brief, down-to-earth, to-the-point discussions useful for immediate application in the ever-changing, demanding, high-pressured marketplace. A former newspaper editor and veteran journalist, Bob was the editor of an acclaimed business magazine for 17 years, and writes and edits a weekly business meditation called "Monday Manna" that is translated into more than 20 languages and distributed around the world. Having worked as a publisher and in executive roles with several non-profit organizations, he understands very well the challenges facing people in today's workplace and has seen and experienced personally how biblical truth relates to the compelling issues of daily life and work. Insights gained from "Business At Its Best" can transform your life, re-energize your workplace team, impact the culture of your organization, and give new perspectives on the what's, why's and how's of what you do each day.
