- Stewards Who Serve: A Christian Guide to Management and Organizational Behaviour
Every pastor, school head and clinic manager plans, organizes, leads and checks the work of others. Learn what managers do, and how to lead work faithfully.
With the WWES companion Stewards Who Serve beside the OpenStax textbook, this course teaches what managers do and how management thought grew. It then turns to planning, strategy and control, and to how ethics, leadership and culture shape an organization. The companion weighs what management teaches in the light of Scripture and brings it to churches, ministries and businesses like yours.
