Fifteen centuries ago, a young monk named Benedict founded the basic monastic system of the Christian world—a spiritual and economic organization that thrives to this very day. In his concise work, now known as The Rule, Benedict presented his leadership secrets and managerial insights. Outlining practices and strategies for organizational discipline, leadership style, sources of innovation, and managerial ethics, it provided the first complete management system of the Western world. The Benedictine Rule of Leadership presents these principles in a fresh and original way that is applicable to any manager or organization today.

Chapters include:
· The Rule of Managerial Improvisation
· The Rule of Careful Counsel
· The Rule of Merit and Seniority
· The Rule of Innovation
· The Rule of Leading by Example

Unlike other management philosophies that are outdated or passé before they hit the shelf, The Benedictine Rule of Leadership presents a model of management that stands the test of time.
