With the Millenium now upon us, marking the 2,000th official anniversary of the birth of Christ, managers might have a more productive and satisfied workforce if they apply Christian principles in the workplace, according to Christian Schumacher. Schumacher is a successful management consultant whose work has been mainly in the field of work organisation, and the author of God is Work.
