Christian Management Report
February 2002 (VOL. 26, NO. 2)
Focus: Organization Core Values
“Above all else, guard your heart, for it affects everything you do” –Psalms 119:10 NLT
With this issue CMA celebrates 25 years of ministry. Ted Engstrom, longtime and honored friend of CMA who was there at its inception, reflects on CMA’s history and redemptive influence for such a time as this. w Jim Collins, author of the best-seller Build to Last, looks at what makes some corporations rise to the top as outstanding performers. His team of researchers determine that leadership is the critical element in this and a certain kind of leadership, one that demonstrates meekness (humility) and fierce resolve. w As Christian leaders, we understand the importance of values and their critical role in the development and lasting impact of our ministries. In this issue we ask what are core values and how do we incorporate them into the warp and woof of our organizations? --DeWayne Herbrandson, Executive Editor
