    NARCISSISTS SHOULD NOT READ THIS BOOK
  

*by E***O on Reviewed in the United States on November 13, 2013*

Chris Lowney's book opens on page 2 with a disarming comment that sets the tone . . . "Some folks approach [leadership] opportunities knowing that they are superbly prepared to lead, and that unshakable self-confidence stays with them every day of their careers.  We call such people narcissists.  They often get their organizations into trouble because, blinded by the radiant glow of their self-perceived greatness, they don't see what havoc they create or what misery they inflict on others."Core fundamental values of leadership rather than the latest fads or trends drive the themes of this book. Lowney demonstrates how Pope Francis exemplifies these principles and the Jesuit leadership tradition that has developed over centuries.  Using his unequivocally unique perspective as both a former Jesuit seminarian and investment banker, Lowney weaves the religious and the secular together -- for example tying the tradition of prayer to our human need for quite reflection to collect our thoughts in a world filled with a cacophony of sound and distractions that tend to make us reactive instead of proactive.I found myself going back and repeatedly underlining the insights in this book making sure to take notes as to what I have read so that I can, to put it bluntly, steal Lowney's lines for my next presentation to my colleagues or clients.  Very few people have the perspective to put together such a plainly-spoken and effective book that draws upon a Catholic tradition and places at its center, Pope Francis, who has been and could still become a transformative historical figure.  To be clear, Lowney expresses his frustration with his church and hopes that Francis can draw Catholics back and others in.If you do not read this book, you will lose an opportunity to gain insight from someone who writes not from the perspective of corporate titan or from that of an academic, but someone who has lived in very different parts of this world who draws his inspiration from a truly inspiring person.

    Intimate, revealing and relevant portrait
  

*by O***S on Reviewed in the United States on December 9, 2013*

Chris Lowney has done it again! The author of “Heroic Leadership” (2005) and “Heroic Living” (2010) now gives us “Pope Francis: Why He Leads the Way He Leads,” and it may be the best of a fine trio. It’s certainly the most topical. Francis’ simple ways and his consistent words have captured the attention of people everywhere – and not just Catholics. Obviously the world is hungry for moral leadership, and Francis is currently without peer in that department. Lowney is uniquely qualified to write about him for three reasons. First, having spent several years in Jesuit formation, he is an expert on the process that shaped Jorge Mario Bergoglio, S.J. from his earliest days and served as the arena in which he exercised much of his leadership before being elected pope. Second, Lowney is a seasoned student of the world, having spent 17 years with J.P. Morgan and served as a one of its managing partners on three continents. His work product is always relevant to people of all  faiths and to those with no faith at all. Finally, he is fluent in Spanish, which gave him direct and immediate access to many Jesuits who studied and worked under the pope when he was the Jesuits’ superior in Argentina and later served as archbishop of Buenos Aires. Thus, Lowney is able to paint an intimate and revealing portrait of a man whose humility, vision and love for the poor have captured the world’s attention – and much of its heart. Despite all the unique research that underlies the text, the book is a bright and lively read that’s broken down into brief sections for the busy reader who can only devote a few minutes at a time to understanding what makes this pope tick. I’m grateful for having the opportunity to read it – and I think you will be too.

    He enables common people to do uncommon things!!!
  

*by B***N on Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2016*

In his book, 
  
Management: Tasks, Responsibilities, Practices







  
  
    , in Chapter 36, "The Spirit of Performance," Peter F. Drucker states: The purpose of an organization is to enable common [people] to do uncommon things. This necessarily includes religious organizations. Yes, this too is necessarily about working towards a goal. Leadership is the quality, or maybe the art,  possessed by certain individuals that makes them capable of doing this. They know where they are going. They have a very good idea of how to get there. They have a heuristic approach that keeps them goal focused in spite of obstacles. And, in contrast to the effects of narcissistic leadership which Lowney brings up, true leaders show us it's not about them, it's about the good they are looking to accomplish. Pope Francis is one of those individuals. Written by someone who was not only a success in investment banking at one of the big firms, he also knows what the heart of a Jesuit is supposed to be, having been one of their seminarians and outlined the leadership it took to guide their 450 year existence in his book: 
  
Heroic Leadership: Best Practices from a 450-Year-Old Company That Changed the World







  
  
    . Glad that he chose to share his insights with us!
