Leadership Principles for Lasting Success

Leadership makes great companies, but few of us truly understand how to turn ourselves and others into great leaders. One companyâ€”the Jesuitsâ€”pioneered a unique formula for molding leaders and in the process built one of historyâ€™s most successful companies.
In this groundbreaking book, Chris Lowney reveals the leadership principles that have guided the Jesuits for more than 450 years: self-awareness, ingenuity, love, and heroism. Lowney shows how these same principles can make each of us a dynamic leader in the twenty-first century.

Â

â€œEntertaining and well researched, this is a must-read for any business leader, and an inspirational read for anyone who wants to be a better human being.â€
â€”Walter Gubert, chairman of the investment bank,Â J. P. Morgan

â€œLowney does a wonderfully engaging job of making clear
the connections between our current leadership challenges and the principles employed so effectively by the Jesuits.â€
â€”Edward J. Kelly III, president and ceo, Mercantile Bankshares Corporation

Â

â€œIn this absorbing, lucid book, Lowney . . . explores how the Jesuits have successfully grappled with challenges that test great companies. Reflective businesspeople of faith will find Lowneyâ€™s insights a breath of fresh air.â€
â€”Publishers Weekly, starred review

â€œThis 450-year-old institution [seems] as current today as it was four centuries ago. Lowney shows us how every employee can and should be a leader and that love-driven leadership does work.â€
â€”Richard K. Green, former president and COO, Blistex, Inc.

â€œThis informative, fascinating book tells how Jesuits produced both outstanding individual leaders and a culture of leadership. This is a book to be enjoyed, pondered, and put into practice.â€
â€”John W. Padberg, S.J., director, Institute of Jesuit Sources
