The books of the Bible include examples of management and leadership that can only be found in the scriptures from the prophets and parables to the disciples and the Pauline epistles to examples from modern times. Moses led 600,000 men plus women and children through the wilderness and how he received advice from his father Jethro (Exodus 18). Joshua led the Israelites to the Promised Land in Canaan. Learn how weak leadership hurts an organization and how strong leadership helps an organization thrive by reading the Books of Judges, Samuel, Kings, and Chronicles. The early Church leadership was formed and operated in the Book of Acts. Communication is also very important regarding the management of teams and organizations and the study of communications, including the history of communications and new methods of communication are very important.

The Peter Principle is a concept in management developed by Laurence J. Peter observes that people in a hierarchy tend to rise “to a level of respective incompetence” and employees are promoted based on their success in previous jobs until they reach a level at which they are no longer competent, as skills in one job do not necessarily translate to another job.
