Leadership Not by the Book – 12 Unconventional Principles to Drive Incredible Results

With hard-earned wisdom drawn from a lifetime of experience, David Green helps you drive incredible results in business and life by sharing a fascinating inside look--mistakes and all--at the counterintuitive yet highly effective biblical principles he used to build Hobby Lobby from a 600 dollar startup to a 7-billion-dollar enterprise.

Conventional leadership wisdom says Hobby Lobby shouldn''t work. So why does it?

David Green, the founder of Hobby Lobby and an unlikely leader, grew his company from a $600 start-up to an $8 billion company that gives 50 percent of its profits away to fund initiatives all over the world. He blazed his own path in business, drawn not from business gurus but from the pages of Scripture.

To raise up and encourage the next generation of leaders, David Green shares 12 unconventional principles that drive Hobby Lobby. These core principles can open doors to greater success in business and life, and they fall into three major categories:

● God-focused practices
● people-centered practices
● commonsense practices

Whether you lead a business or a nonprofit, a small business or a multinational corporation, a start-up or a department, this book will show you how breaking the conventional rules of business may be the best decision you ever make.
