Pope Francis: Why He Leads the Way He Leads, by Chris Lowney, was just published. According to Amazon, this books is the first to include anecdotes from Jesuits who lived with the Pope, the first to explore his leadership style, and the first to draw lessons learned for the rest of us.
From choosing to live in a simple apartment instead of the papal palace to washing the feet of men and women in a youth detention center, Pope Francis’s actions contradict behaviors expected of a modern leader. Lowney, a former Jesuit seminarian turned Managing Director for JP Morgan & Co., shows how the pope’s words and deeds reveal spiritual principles that have prepared him to lead the Church and influence our world – a rapidly-changing world that requires leaders who value the human need for love, inspiration, and meaning.
