Leadership: Born from the Jesuit Mission

Humility can be misplaced, if it comes from a broken idea of leadership, if we think of leaders as being charge, maintaining the power and celebrity. The idea that leadership is for only people in charge, is not the solution to any problem.

We must think of ourselves as leaders first. Living our values, not status, is our claim to leadership. 

Magis means we are able to attack and establish ways to address the joys and hopes dreams and desires of the poor and afflicted of the present age. This is a leadership mentality to achieve a vision much larger then themselves. First instill the Magis, then get results.  

Company is etymologically a group of people with whom you break bread, a group with whom you are revived and gain energy, a group with whom you share in the sacrifice of Christ at the altar.  In what way are we a true company?

Mr. Lowney  left you with three challenges: Be Christ, Be accountable, and Be innovators.  How will we meet these challenges?
