Bottom lines are on the increase; available resources on the decrease. Worse, managers must achieve these grand goals while keeping morale at an all-time high. This isn't just a trend. It's the state of business today. And really, it's nothing new. In ancient Egypt, the Israelite slaves were forced to make more bricks with less straw. With fewer and fewer resources, the Israelites had to find ways to meet higher and higher demands. David Farrington transports this and other familiar Bible stories into the modern workplace, demonstrating timetested solutions-delegation of authority, effective communication, consensus building, and more-for today's time-pressed business leaders. As a veteran of consulting for Fortune 500 companies, Farrington knows how to produce more effective business leaders. His penetrating insights give leaders innovative strategies for building morale and creating a positive work environment, making the most of workers' efforts in a way that is beneficial to you, your team, and your entire organization.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dave Farrington\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0830857087\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780830857081\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e IVP\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/02\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 148\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.40w x 0.30d","brand":"Dave Farrington","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48443722531071,"sku":"9780830857081","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_54b5b914-2e64-4a76-97b7-07b603fe132e.jpg?v=1777207390","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/more-bricks-less-straw-dave-farrington-9780830857081","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
