The Jesuit Approach to Leadership.

In his work Heroic Leadership: Best Practices from 450-year-old Company that changed the World, Chris Lowney lists four pillars of Jesuit-inspired leadership:

  1. Self-awareness: understanding your strengths and weaknesses and what you stand for;
  2. Ingenuity: being able to adapt and accept the reality of change;
  3. Heroism: motivating yourself with desire for excellence but with goals that are bigger than any one person’s ego;
  4. Love: treating people with dignity, recognizing the Others potential and acting on it.

The hope is that it will inspire you and lead you to explore the thoughts of the people who in one way or another have changed human history for the better .

For the month of November the selected quotation is an ancient Japanese proverb.
