Consider the notion that business and spiritual principles should become intimately acquainted. The Catholic Church has survived for more than fifty generations, spanning 266 popes. Is there a more perfect example of succession management? Nurturing the Flame is a unique guide that presents a side-by-side comparison of modern business concepts and Jesus's methods in setting up the Catholic Church for success in perpetuity. Topics include the following:

• The temptations an organization faces while pursuing its mission
• Building a foundation for successful recruitment to build management teams
• The values that validate an organization's existence and ensure stability and right conduct
• How to perform SWOT analyses and implement strategies and targets
• The importance of performance and process measurement and leadership selection
• The essential nature of internal transformation to ensure successful business transitions
• The delivery of training and coaching competencies among new leaders
• Balancing the pain of leaving an organization with the hope of starting a new chapter in life

Forget about relying solely on business valuation and buy-sell agreements. The rock on which Christ built his Church is holding steady two millennia after the fact. Do you have a transition plan in place to ensure your business will stand the test of time?
