Wandering Into Wisdom

This blog chronicles the knowledge, insight and wisdom I encounter every day as a leadership consultant, executive coach, educator, father, friend and citizen. This site is dedicated to my father, Louis (Jack) Laughlin, who passed on to me an appreciation for wisdom. A special thanks to my friend Isaac Cheifetz, a businessman and journalist, who helped me understand the value of blogs and encouraged me to write one.

A New Paradigm*

A group of Christians started a program called “Lazarus at the Gate” which uses biblical references to develop financial principles. The name refers to the gospel story about a rich man who persistently ignored a beggar named Lazarus. They use generosity and gratitude as central principles to guide them. They consider wealth a blessing, potential idol and resource to be fairly distributed.
