"Throughout my business career, I attributed my leadership
preparedness to my Jesuit education. Chris Lowney aptly
communicates the nuances of the Jesuit charism that inspires so
many of us."- Michael R. QuinlanChariman Emeritus, McDonald's
CorporationHonorary Chairman, Loyola University Chicago
"Lowney's book was not only engaging; it upended my preconceptions.
Here was someone who had not merely dipped his toes in the Ignatian
tradition; he had swum in the ocean of it, then gone off to teach
swimming in other pools."- Tim Muldoon, author of The Ignatian
Workout"Lowney, author of the best-selling book Heroic Leadership,
is eminently qualified to assess our dynamic new Pope's leadership
style. As a former Jesuit seminarian, he understands St. Ignatius'
spiritual exercises and their emphasis upon humility and service.
As a businessman who has served as a managing director for J. P.
Morgan on three continents, and as board chair of one of the
nation's largest healthcare systems, he understands the menu of
leadership styles from which leaders, even religious leaders, must
choose.- Kathy Schiffer, Seasons of Grace "I have a master's degree
in management and I've spent 18 years of my life holding a
leadership position in the public sphere. I have never seen a
better book on how a true leader gets people to follow him or
her."- Rebecca Hamilton, 18-year member of the Oklahoma House of
Representatives "A respectful examination that looks to both the
past and the future, Pope Francis: Why He Leads the Way He Leads is
inspirational from cover to cover."
- James A. Cox, The Midwest Book Review
"Pope Francis is a book for the ages; the lessons to be learned
from the example of the humble servant called upon to be a World
Leader are timeless in their truth and universal in their
applicability to our daily lives."- Jeffrey Paravano, Managing
Partner, Baker & Hostetler LLP
"Chris Lowney expands on his insightful work in Heroic Leadership
with this case study of one of the world's most visible and
influential leaders. In Pope Francis, he draws practical lessons
for all, of a life of spiritually grounded leadership that has
captured his flock in Argentina, his peers in the College of
Cardinals, and now the world."- Mel SpeiseMajor General USMC
(Retired)Former Commanding General of Training and Education
Command
"For people of faith or no faith, Chris Lowney's Pope Francis: Why
He Leads the Way He Leads is a timely introduction to the mind and
heart of a pope who has defied expectations and charmed the world.
In a culture that has become skeptical of institutional leadership,
Lowney offers hope and insight into what an inspiring leader can
look like. Drawing on themes from Pope Francis' (and his own)
formation as a Jesuit, Lowney's accessible book invites each of us
to reflect on our own obstacles to successful leadership. This book
is perfect for anyone interested in better serving their families,
schools, businesses, and organizations."
- Timothy R. Lannon, SJ
President, Creighton University
"In our interconnected world where so many complain about a crisis
of leadership, Chris Lowney presents the case of Pope Francis, a
leader focused not on status but on mission. This is a powerful
book for leaders of all stripes, religious and non-believers alike,
who recognize the need to cultivate character and the ability to
hold competing values as we navigate change, whether in business,
organizations or society itself. I highly recommend it."
- Jacqueline Novogratz, Founder and CEO of Acumen Fund
"Lowney uses the life of Pope Francis to show us that the path to
effective leadership begins in "leadership of self" and that the
journey never ends. His books form a collection that should be the
foundation of any business leader's personal library."
- Edward Speed, Retired CEO, TDECU
"Tapping into his own fascinating and unique background, Chris
Lowney has written an important, powerful book that is full of
paradox. It is both deeply philosophical and immensely practical.
It is suited for those steeped in Catholic faith and those with no
faith formation at all. It is timeless and completely relevant for
our modern age. Whether you are fascinated by Pope Francis or in
search of useful tools for transforming the organization you lead,
this book is a prize."
-- Patrick Lencioni; president, The Table Group; author of The Five
Dysfunctions of a Team and The Advantage
