St. Francis of Assisi provides a meaningful context for contemporary leadership

The message and work of St. Francis of Assisi, founder of the Franciscan movement, provides a meaningful context for contemporary leadership. Francis saw the world through a web of relationships that were interdependent and connected with all of humanity and creation. ... By aligning his core values with his character, purpose, and leadership practice, he transformed medieval society. These same traits continue to be relevant for leaders who desire and seek sustainable change and transformation.
