As part of The John Tagliabue \u201967 H \u201905 Lecture Series, Author and Lecturer Chris Lowney will discuss \u201cDusty Feet: What a Jesuit Pope Teaches the Rest of Us about Leadership\u201d on Wednesday, October 30, at 6:30 p.m. at the Mac Mahon Student Center. A reception will follow.<\/p>\n
Lowney is a former Jesuit seminarian turned managing director for JPMorgan & Co., as well as a renowned author. His most recent book, Pope Francis: Why He Leads the Way He Leads<\/i>, shows how the words and deeds of Pope Francis reveal spiritual principles that have prepared him to lead the Church and influence the world.<\/p>\n
As part of lecture, Lowney will explore the leadership of this dynamic pope and how his guidance can be a model for us all within our personal and professional lives. In his first book, Heroic Leadership: Best Practices from a 450-Year-Old Company that Changed the World<\/i> (2005), Lowney reveals the leadership principles that have guided the Jesuits for more than 450 years: self-awareness, ingenuity, love and heroism. In further developing some of the themes from Heroic Leadership<\/i>, his third book, Heroic Living<\/i> (2009), combines the proven practices of Ignatian spirituality with Lowney\u2019s business expertise to help each of us discover a purpose in life and develop a personal life strategy to achieve it.<\/p>\n
