Leadership: An Islamic Perspective - 1999 -150 pages - Rafik
Beekun and Jamal Badawi - paperback
Price: $9.95, not including shipping, handling and taxes.

Availability:  Usually ships within 24 hours.

Overview:

Rafik Beekun and Jamal Badawi have written a primer on leadership
integrating contemporary business techniques with traditional Islamic
knowledge. The synthesis results in a highly practical and inspiring
manual for developing leadership skills. Leadership in Islam is a trust. It
represents a moral and psychological contract between a leader and his
followers that he will try his best to guide them. At its core, the focus of
leadership in Islam is on doing good. According to Islam, every person is
the shepherd of his flock, and occupies a position of leadership.
Leadership: An Islamic perspective is about how Muslims enact their
leadership role. This book is directed at both non-Muslims seeking to
understand the leadership paradigm of one billion Muslims globally, and
at Muslims wishing to understand leadership better and to become more
effective leaders, Insha Allah.
