| Summary: | This study explores some of the management lessons in Sūrah Al-Baqarah
by referring to the explanations of Khaled (n.d.) and Khan (2012, 2016). Five
management lessons were derived from Khaled (n.d.) and six management
lessons were derived from Khan (2012, 2016). Khan (2012, 2016) was more
detailed than Khaled (n.d.) and highlighted the problem of corrupt leadership.
Leaders can became “spiritual people with a worldly mind-set” (Khan, 2012).
The psychological and organizational processes that enable leaders to
mislead their followers are then explored. Although one assumes that bad
leaders are deliberately unethical, social psychology shows that good leaders
can become bad unintentionally over time. Muslim business leaders can build
one of three types of organizations. One with a positive organizational
culture, one with a neutral organizational culture and one with a negative
organizational culture. Similarly, Muslim employees have an ethical
responsibility to seek employment in an organization whose corporate culture
does not clash with Islamic values. As the Qur’ān provides timeless guidance,
one can conclude that good and ethical leadership is an eternal challenge. |
