Jesus and the 12: A Guide to Successful Relationship Management

ABOUT THE BOOK"Jesus and the Twelve", is a timely piece that sheds great light on relationship management. This script synopsizes the leadership style of Jesus Christ, our Lord. It illustrates the characteristics of each of the disciples, their strengths, weaknesses and the transformation journey which led them from being disciples to becoming APOSTLES. You too can cultivate amazing relationships by studying to understand and intentionally manage the varying natures of diverse people in your organisations, groups and churches. Indeed, God can bring greatness out of anyone who is yielded and willing. Jesus was able to manage these 12 men; among whom were memorable personalities like "doubting Thomas", Judas the Betrayer, James and John: the Boanerges, also known as the sons of thunder, and Matthew the tax collector (a modern-day politician, perceived to be corrupt). Many leaders today have destroyed the cluster together with the blessing in it for lack of this leadership style and relationship management pattern. However, this book helps us to see that there is huge benefit in preserving the cluster by improving its strength and amending its weakness.One must resist the temptation to write people off at the sight of their weaknesses, but rather gain insight into how to relate with them effectively in spite of their temperamental differences. And if there is any take home message, it is the word of Jesus: Go and do likewise. The only way to have a successful and rewarding ministry is to learn from the Master and do likewise.
