Dr. Ariel Robles launches faith-and-business leadership framework

Dr. Ariel Robles is releasing a new book Sept. 1 that ties Christian principles to workplace leadership, entrepreneurship and technology decision-making. The launch comes as AI and automation raise the stakes for ethical leadership and human judgment.

Why it matters: - The Business Anointing: Spiritual Principles for Success in Your Workplace aims to bridge a gap many professionals feel between faith and career. - The book targets Christian executives, entrepreneurs, business owners, technology professionals, managers and emerging leaders. - The framework argues that professional excellence, innovation and spiritual purpose can reinforce each other. - Robles says that matters even more as AI and automation expand across industries and raise expectations for responsible leadership.

What happened: - Dr. Ariel Robles is launching The Business Anointing globally on Sept. 1, 2026, in English and Spanish. - The Spanish edition is La Unción Empresarial. - Robles is a technology executive, author and Christian leader with more than 40 years in technology and corporate settings. - His background includes work with Citigroup, Verizon, Mercedes-Benz and Hewlett-Packard. - Robles also has more than 30 years of Christian ministry experience.

The details: - The book introduces a leadership framework that connects biblical principles with workplace decision-making. - Robles defines the “Business Anointing” as the application of spiritual principles to leadership, business, innovation, influence, stewardship and the workplace. - The framework includes what Robles calls the Anointing of the King, which represents the capacity to lead, govern, build, create, influence and steward resources with wisdom, character and purpose. - The book uses biblical leadership models including David, Joseph, Nehemiah, Isaiah and Esther. - It addresses character and integrity, strategic discernment, organizational culture, financial stewardship, workplace influence, entrepreneurship and responsible technology governance. - Robles says many people understand purpose in church but struggle to apply purpose in a boardroom, technology organization or corporate workplace. - Robles says technology can expand leaders’ capabilities, but only human character can guide how those capabilities are used. - Robles says no one needs to own a company or hold a ministry title to lead with purpose. - The book is available through major book retailers and distribution channels worldwide.

Between the lines: - The message reflects a broader push among faith-based leaders to frame everyday work as a place for influence, not just income. - The emphasis on AI-era responsibility suggests the book is also trying to speak to current concerns about ethics, governance and trust in technology. - The leadership model is designed to resonate with readers who want spiritual language without leaving the realities of corporate and technical work behind.

What's next: - The Business Anointing and La Unción Empresarial are available beginning Sept. 1, 2026. - Robles’ work is likely to continue centering on leadership, technology, faith, organizational transformation and professional purpose. - More information is available on Robles' LinkedIn profile, Instagram page and Facebook page.
