We Are All Leaders . . . Leading All the Time: A Conversation about Personal Leadership with Chris Lowney
Using the Jesuit model of leadership, author Chris Lowney in his book Heroic Leadership, asserts that each of us “possesses untapped leadership potential” and influence. Opportunities for leadership are also seen in everyday life’s ordinary activities, not just in the extraordinary or for the few. This approach, contrary to most contemporary leadership models, contends that leadership comes from within us and is an ongoing process of self-development and self-understanding.
Please join Chris as he expands the vision of what a leader is and does for an intriguing presentation and dialogue. Learn how we can continue to develop our leadership skills and potential as we create meaningful lives.
