Guest guest Posted June 10, 2003 Report Share Posted June 10, 2003 Friends, Read below the wonderful article : Leadership Skills - Jesus as CEO (Embedded image moved to file: pic06334.pcx) Jesus had only three years to train 12 people, none of whom were divine, to go out and change the world, and that he trained them so effectively that they went on to do the work after he left.
