One of the best books of the year,
Basically by explaining various important aspects of good shepherding the authors provide solid object lessons in managing people. Each chapter ends with a short synopsis of the major points. There is a lot of wisdom concentrated in these seven principles and I found myself printing them out on a small card that I can carry with me. The Way of the Shepherd is a highly recommended purchase and can be applied to many different kings of “flocks” – family, church, service groups, or any other group you care about.

|Rational Retention,
Pentak and Leman take lessons from an experienced shepherd, and translate good practice into human resource management. They take you through Management 101 to Human Resource Development at the post-graduate level in simple, but deep lessons about management’s role in personnel maintenance.
Take a weekend and go to shepherding school, or take this on your next business flight and you’ll have the tools to re-ignite your committment to your staff, from your stars to you marginal performers. It’s an investment of time that will pay returns after each chapter, from knowing your sheep to making a safe pasture to providing correction and direction.
This is the best human resource management book I have ever read. It’s insightful and practical. I am recommending it to my management team and to my boss. It will contribute to reaching our department goal – being the best place to work.

I’m thinking about reading it to my boys. Even though they are younger the story will captivate their minds and present me with the opportunity to discuss the underlying principles that the Way of the Shepherd communicates.
