Review

 "Tapping into his own fascinating and unique background, Chris Lowney has written an important, powerful book that is full of paradox.  It is both deeply philosophical and immensely practical.  It is suited for those steeped in Catholic faith and those with no faith formation at all.  It is timeless and completely relevant for our modern age.  Whether you are fascinated by Pope Francis or in search of useful tools for transforming the organization you lead, this book is a prize."
-- Patrick Lencioni; president, The Table Group; author of The Five Dysfunctions of a Team and The Advantage



"In our interconnected world where so many complain about a crisis of leadership, Chris Lowney presents the case of Pope Francis, a leader focused not on status but on mission.  This is a powerful book for leaders of all stripes, religious and non-believers alike, who recognize the need to cultivate character and the ability to hold competing values as we navigate change, whether in business, organizations or society itself. I highly recommend it."
- Jacqueline Novogratz, Founder and CEO of Acumen Fund


 "Pope Francis is a book for the ages; the lessons to be learned from the example of the humble servant called upon to be a World Leader are timeless in their truth and universal in their applicability to our daily lives."
- Jeffrey Paravano, Managing Partner, Baker & Hostetler LLP


 "Chris Lowney expands on his insightful work in Heroic Leadership with this case study of one of the world's most visible and influential leaders.  In Pope Francis, he draws practical lessons for all, of a life of spiritually grounded leadership that has captured his flock in Argentina, his peers in the College of Cardinals, and now the world."
- Mel Speise
Major General USMC (Retired)
Former Commanding General of Training and Education Command


"Lowney uses the life of Pope Francis to show us that the path to effective leadership begins in "leadership of self" and that the journey never ends.  His books form a collection that should be the foundation of any business leader's personal library."
- Edward Speed, Retired CEO, TDECU


 "Chris Lowney has again provided us with an invaluable gift by interpreting the principles of leadership within the Ignatian-Jesuit tradition.   Through this work, we can better understand the impact of Jesuit formation upon leadership style--and of the promise, hope, and love it can bring to our organizations, society, and world."
- John J. DeGioia, President, Georgetown University


"For people of faith or no faith, Chris Lowney's Pope Francis: Why He Leads the Way He Leads is a timely introduction to the mind and heart of a pope who has defied expectations and charmed the world.  In a culture that has become skeptical of institutional leadership, Lowney offers hope and insight into what an inspiring leader can look like.  Drawing on themes from Pope Francis' (and his own) formation as a Jesuit, Lowney's accessible book invites each of us to reflect on our own obstacles to successful leadership.  This book is perfect for anyone interested in better serving their families, schools, businesses, and organizations."
- Timothy R. Lannon, SJ
President, Creighton University


"Throughout my business career, I attributed my leadership preparedness to my Jesuit education. Chris Lowney aptly communicates the nuances of the Jesuit charism that inspires so many of us."
- Michael R. Quinlan
Chariman Emeritus, McDonald's Corporation
Honorary Chairman, Loyola University Chicago

"Lowney’s book was not only engaging; it upended my preconceptions. Here was someone who had not merely dipped his toes in the Ignatian tradition; he had swum in the ocean of it, then gone off to teach swimming in other pools."
- Tim Muldoon, author of The Ignatian Workout

"Lowney, author of the best-selling book Heroic Leadership, is eminently qualified to assess our dynamic new Pope’s leadership style.  As a former Jesuit seminarian, he understands St. Ignatius’ spiritual exercises and their emphasis upon humility and service.   As a businessman who has served as a managing director for J. P. Morgan on three continents, and as board chair of one of the nation’s largest healthcare systems, he understands the menu of leadership styles from which leaders, even religious leaders, must choose.
- Kathy Schiffer, Seasons of Grace


"I have a master’s degree in management and I've spent 18 years of my life holding a leadership position in the public sphere. I have never seen a better book on how a true leader gets people to follow him or her."
- Rebecca Hamilton, 18-year member of the Oklahoma House of Representatives


"A respectful examination that looks to both the past and the future, Pope Francis: Why He Leads the Way He Leads is inspirational from cover to cover."
- James A. Cox, The Midwest Book Review

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.
Best selling author, Chris Lowney, knows something about Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio's leadership journey to becoming the leader of the global Catholic Church as Pope Francis. Lowney, prior to becoming a successful investment banker at J.P. Morgan & Co., was a Jesuit seminarian, was trained the same as the pope. Both used "Ignatian Spiritual Exercises," the Jesuit handbook that is virtually unchanged and has successfully stood the test of time for 500 years.

In "Pope Francis: Why He Leads The Way He Leads," Lowney maintains that Pope Francis is calling for a new approach to leadership - servant leadership - for the 21st century. Lowney argues dramatic change is needed since most Americans perceive those in leadership positions as "awful. Too often, those in leadership positions seem preoccupied only with their own status or income. They are unable to inspire or unite us; they are not imaginative enough to solve the seemingly intractable problems that plague us; they are afraid to make the tough choices or even to level with us; and they are insufficiently courageous to lead us through challenge and drive change."

Pope Francis offers an alternative, one rooted in Jesuit understanding. The founder of the Jesuits, St. Ignatius of Loyola, felt excessive personal ambition to be the "mother of all evils in any community or congregation." He instructed the Jesuits "never to seek higher office" and developed a training program to "rein in the human tendency to stroke one's ego, by seeking status, power, and advancement. He knew how organizational infighting could damage organizational morale."

Jesuit training is what makes Pope Francis so distinctive. He has acted forcefully to shake us from our comfort zone with his "back-to-the future" 16th Century challenges:
