Pope Francis Offered Leaders a Masterclass in Rebranding
Ann Skeet, senior director, leadership ethics says that Pope Francis, the first Jesuit pope, helped build bridges three ways.
“The first is his humility, which he used to connect with his followers as if to say, ‘see, I am one of you.’ The second is the way he encouraged connection between people, suggesting that we go towards relationships we have with others, which he captured in the phrase a ‘culture of encounter.’’
The third way was how he shared his vision with others. He “provided a master class in crafting a shared vision, writing early in his papacy about the need to protect and care for our common home, the earth, and exemplifying the good stewardship that all leaders should adopt in their roles,” Skeet pointed out.
