SETTING HEARTS ON FIRE
A Spirituality for Leaders

Good leaders need to set their own hearts on fire before they can hope to set the world ablaze. By drawing parallels between the evolution of modern management theories and the leadership characteristics of the greatest leader of all time, Jesus Christ, this book presents practical tools in the form of contemplative readings, prayers, questions and exercises to help adults reflect upon their own leadership style and spiritual resources in order to discover what they can do to become better leaders. In a world desperate for good, honest, caring leadership, this book makes the case that what’s needed most today is not the cultivation of corporate profits, but the cultivation of corporate prophets. Those at any level of leadership in business, education, health care institutions, parishes, dioceses and religious communities will find much here to assist them in becoming more effective leaders.
