“This book was a complete surprise for me. Someone suggested that I read this so I had no idea what it would be about. What I found was a thoroughly inspiring read about the lives of the Jesuits as they lived out their values of self awareness, ingenuity, love, and heroism. These concepts stir me daily as I seek to explore making the world human again - something we can not be about, I would dare to venture - without such values being lived out in our own lives.”

“A fascinating application of the empowered leadership model and decentralized organizational system of the Jesuit order to leadership and organization in other settings. Lowney, a former Jesuit, credibly applies the disciplines and attitudes of his order training to his work at Morgan-Stanley and by extension encourages its application for other settings.

Certainly worth the read if self-leadership is considered a predicate for effective group leadership.”
“A leadership book unlike any other. While most leadership books tend to extol businesses or sports coaches, this one examines the leadership principles set by the Society of Jesus, a 450-year old Roman Catholic organization. It highlights the attitudes and principles that has made this order explode from a handful of people to a worldwide organization that is perhaps best known for establishing some of the leading educational institutions we have today.”
