Leading With Meaning: Using Covenantal Leadership to Build a Better Organization
Editorial Reviews
Review
"...possibly his best work, evidencing a maturity of thought and confidence of expression.... Professor Pava is quite explicit in what he is seeking to do: demonstrate how traditional Jewish sources relating to the Jewish concept of covenant can provide...specific examples to assist business leaders in resolving ‘real world problems’ in the here and now." -- Edwin Epstein, Haas School of Business, University of California, Berkeley
"I don’t know any other book or major article that makes such an intelligent use of the Jewish faith tradition in order to illuminate contemporary problems of leadership and organization building. I wish authors from the Christian, Muslim, Hindu, and other traditions would follow Mr. Pava’s lead by drawing on their own religious resources in order to enrich the understanding of business ethics. -- Georges Enderle, University of Notre Dame
I believe that [Moses] Pava has written an original, insightful, and provocative book." -- Timothy L. Fort, University of Michigan Business School
"In Leading with Meaning : Using Covenantal Leadership to Build a Stronger Organization, Pava admirably displays his comfort with, and commitment to, the teachings of Torah Umadda, the harmonization of the Jewish religious tradition with the secular world around him. ... No utopian he, Pava work is pragmatically rooted in the realities of the market place and not in some idealized cloistered setting. I was particularly impressed with the way ancient texts are brought alive by the author in dealing with contemporary concerns. Leading with Meaning, will be greeted enthusiastically both academic business ethicists and by practical entrepreneurs interested in elevating their lives and work to a higher moral plane." -- Dr. Norman Lamm, President, Yeshiva University
Book Description
What makes a good leader? How does good leadership impact an organization? In the aftermath of the Enron scandal, leadership with a soul is more important than ever before. Moses Pava argues that meaningful and useful answers to these questions are available in tradi-tional religious and spiritual resources. By exploring tradi-tional works that deal with the idea of the biblical coven-ant and Jewish leader-ship, Pava shows how religion can address real-world pro-blems. Using what can be learned from these sources in the business world is the key to building leader-ship based on mutual trust and respect-a covenantal leadership. This book offers six ways to achieve such leadership: Humanity, No Illusions, Integra-tion, Moral Imagination, the Role Model, and Moral Growth. The best teachers have always shown us how to use yester-day's language to solve tomorrow's prob-lems. Moses Pava continues in this tradition and clearly shows us why a covenantal leader is a successful leader.
