Apply timeless, biblical insights to overcome organizational chaos

Over 47% of leaders say that chaos is pervasive in their organizations. Though disorder can feel overwhelming at times, human beings are actually designed to overcome and conquer chaos.

In Built to Beat Chaos: Biblical Principles for Leading Yourself and Others, renowned teacher, coach, speaker, and best-selling author Gary Harpst delivers an insightful and practical discussion of how to transform chaos into order by relying on strategies drawn directly from the Bible. You’ll learn how to find fulfillment and success by leaning into your innate ability to calm the madness and control chaos by:

  • Understanding the fundamental processes underlying how we put things together for a purpose
  • Discovering why everyone is biblically called to leadership and the dynamics of self-leadership
  • Applying biblical principles to transform your organization through action

An invaluable roadmap for board members, executives, managers, pastors, and other organizational leaders, Built to Beat Chaos is the straightforward, practical, and biblically grounded business manual that every leader should read.
