Two thousand years later, Jesus of Nazareth still attracts tens of millions of followers worldwide. Adair sets out to discover what kind of leader Jesus was and compares and contrasts his style with both the secular and religious power-brokers of the time.

Part one describes leadership in Jesus' world, and surveys Greek teachers of leadership, biblical leaders, chief rulers in Jesus' day, and even John the Baptizer.

Part two reveals what kind of leadership Jesus exercised, including his work with his disciples (teamwork), and his model of servant leadership.

Part three surveys the legacy of Jesus' leadership and its relevance for today's leaders.
