“The life of Moses, the most famous leader in the Hebrew Bible and
revered by Jews, Christians and Muslims alike, is the springboard
for Arthur J. Wolak to engagingly discuss the skills needed by
leaders today. This book provides the reader with an enjoyable
combination of religious reflection, business acumen and innovative
entrepreneurship. It is a rich midrash and required reading for any
modern manager who recognises that lessons from the past can shed
light on and improve their leadership today.”

Fellow, St Edmund's College, University of Cambridge, UK, and
Principal, Cambridge Theological Federation, UK
"This book is an interesting study in leadership qualities and many
different theories of leadership... [It] would serve as a welcome
resource for any person ... in a leadership or management
position."
— Jewish Bible Quarterly (Vol. 47, No. 2)
In Religion and Contemporary Management: Moses as a Model for

some pointers on how to improve their skills in this area.”
