The Leadership Project is inspired by the premise that every great leader in our society must include in his or her life a strong sense of social responsibility. As the foundation of human society is community, it is essential that leaders move from the orbit of individual improvement to betterment of the entire society. This is what the Leadership Project hopes to introduce.
The Leadership Project is an immersion experience occurring over the spring break which incorporates the process and practice of leadership with a generous heart. We will explore what it means to serve, to be a leader, and to have a vocation in life. Each day we will be engaging in large and small group discussion, exploring topics such as power, service, career, lifestyle, success, spirituality, etc., as all will be considered fundamental to the field of human vocation.
Our service will be primarily urban Boston, and we will be working with area professionals, executives, and Alumni from Boston College. This combined community will enrich our discussions and expose our students to leaders who are examples of high achieving individuals with a strong commitment to the betterment of the world around them. We will explore the universality of vocation in many diverse professions and careers. Through service with these mentors, we will investigate the importance of combining action with reflection in leadership in order to make our lives intentional and purposeful.
Through caring for and serving others, true leadership is built.
