Leading With Meaning: Using Covenantal Leadership

"...possibly his best work, evidencing a maturity of thought and confidence of expression.... Professor Pava is quite explicit in what he is seeking to do: demonstrate how traditional Jewish sources relating to the Jewish concept of covenant can provide...specific examples to assist business leaders in resolving ‘real world problems’ in the here and now." -- Edwin Epstein, Haas School of Business, University of California, Berkeley "I don’t know any other book or major article that makes such an intelligent use of the Jewish faith tradition in order to illuminate contemporary problems of leadership and organization building. I wish authors from the Christian, Muslim, Hindu, and other traditions would follow Mr. Pava’s lead by drawing on their own religious resources in order to enrich the understanding of business ethics. -- Georges Enderle, University of Notre Dame I believe that [Moses] Pava has written an original, insightful, and provocative book." -- Timothy L. Fort, University of Michigan Business School "In Leading with Meaning : Using Covenantal Leadership to Build a Stronger Organization, Pava admirably displays his comfort with, and commitment to, the teachings of Torah Umadda, the harmonization of the Jewish religious tradition with the secular world around him. ... No utopian he, Pava work is pragmatically rooted in the realities of the market place and not in some idealized cloistered setting. I was particularly impressed with the way ancient texts are brought alive by the author in dealing with contemporary concerns. Leading with Meaning, will be greeted enthusiastically both academic business ethicists and by practical entrepreneurs interested in elevating their lives and work to a higher moral plane." -- Dr. Norman Lamm, President, Yeshiva University
