With an eye to gleaning savvy business tips from
the Torah, Rabbi Brackman and columnist Jaffe cover a span of
topics-"Conquering Fear," management styles (referred to as
"Patriarchal Business Models"), negotiation and "Dealing with Failure."
Each chapter includes an illustrative story from the Torah, a real-life
corporate example, insight for business and personal life and a
meditation-
evoking both The Art of War for Executives and The Secret (a chapter
addresses the power of positive thinking, albeit divinely guided). The
corporate examples are relevant and timely (right down to the implosion of
Countrywide Financial) and the proposed practices contain pearls of wisdom such
as a weekly "audit of the soul" where strengths and weaknesses are
assessed in terms of recent actions and are examined for mistakes, correctable
by a four-step process. The authors outline sound principles and provide ample
strong examples in this solid business primer.Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
