Seasoned NBA executive Pat Williams ignores conventional management wisdom, instead turning to the Scriptures to developsuccessful leadership principles. As senior vice president of the Orlando Magic, Pat Williams is known throughout the sports world as a consummate promoter and a keen talent scout. His boundless imagination and zany antics have led his teams to success throughout a 42-year career in pro sports. Williams's leadership philosophy is untraditional, to say the least. Now, he shares that unique philsophy,whichbucks conventional management wisdom and is founded instead upon the Scriptures, using Jesus Christ as a leadership model. Examining the paradoxes that made Christ an exceptional leader, he then offers fascinating and instructive examples that make those principles relevant today. Successful leadership is not a matter of simply maximizing profits, but of striving to make this world a better place, and Williams shows how the paradoxical approach is so much more powerful than traditional leadership based on common sense.
