"Who Do You Say That I Am?" Christological Perspectives On Leadership In The Vincentian Tradition, Thomas Esselman C.M. Apr 1998

"Who Do You Say That I Am?" Christological Perspectives On Leadership In The Vincentian Tradition, Thomas Esselman C.M.

Vincentian Heritage Journal

Thomas Esselman explores who Jesus was for Vincent de Paul. He places Vincent’s christology within the context of the French school of spirituality, which countered the dogmatic theology of the day by keeping the experience of faith and of Jesus as its main concerns. As Esselman writes, “Vincent lived out of experience and out of the profound conviction that God’s presence could be found in time, events, and people. . . . He would not so much contemplate Jesus as see Jesus at work, strive to imitate him, and learn from this experience.” For Vincent, Jesus’s main work was being …


Christological Aspects Of Vincentian Leadership: The Christ Of Saint Vincent And Saint Louise, Kathryn Lafleur S.P. Apr 1998

Christological Aspects Of Vincentian Leadership: The Christ Of Saint Vincent And Saint Louise, Kathryn Lafleur S.P.

Vincentian Heritage Journal

Kathryn LaFleur examines who Christ was for Vincent de Paul and Louise de Marillac and how they imitated him in their leadership. She places them within the context of the French school of spirituality and shows how their Trinitarianism and Christocentrism were derived from it. The French school focused on the incarnation, which was an integral part of both Vincent and Louise’s spirituality and service. For Vincent, Christ was the evangelizer of the poor, who not only served them but lived in them. Vincent identified five virtues that were necessary for members of the Congregation to be missionaries like Christ: …


Servant Leadership In The Manner Of Saint Vincent De Paul, J. Patrick Murphy C.M., Ph.D. Apr 1998

Servant Leadership In The Manner Of Saint Vincent De Paul, J. Patrick Murphy C.M., Ph.D.

Vincentian Heritage Journal

This article explores the similarities between Vincent de Paul’s leadership and the kind Robert K. Greenleaf describes in his book, Servant Leadership: A Journey into the Nature of Legitimate Power and Greatness. According to Greenleaf, people who follow a true servant leader become “healthier, wiser, freer, more autonomous” and are likely to become servant leaders themselves. They also consider the effects of their actions on the least privileged. This is all true of the members of the communities that Vincent led, and he was particularly concerned that the poor would become self-supporting through his efforts. Greenleaf says that servant …


Wherever Your Treasure Lies There Also Will Your Heart Be, Aidan Rooney C.M. Apr 1998

Wherever Your Treasure Lies There Also Will Your Heart Be, Aidan Rooney C.M.

Vincentian Heritage Journal

Aidan Rooney proposes a process for identifying Vincentian mission values. To do so, he says three acknowledgments must be made. We must realize “that our own perceptions are decidedly relative and constructed,” that traditional Vincentian values “accumulate meaning” over time and therefore have more meaning now than they did in the past, and that these values “are not simply contained in the writings or experiential histories” of the Vincentian Family. He gives specific definitions for values and mission values, and then defines Vincentian mission values as “those aspects of the ‘culture’ that we approach and our particular Vincentian culture which …

Leadership For Diversity: Effectively Managing For A Transformation, Adrian K. Haugabrook Jan 1998

Leadership For Diversity: Effectively Managing For A Transformation, Adrian K. Haugabrook

Trotter Review

Diversity has become a contentious theme woven throughout many different aspects of higher education. Multiculturalism, ethnic studies, women's studies, curriculum reform, strategies for increasing access and opportunity to the under-represented and under-served and improving campus climate have all been vehicles to promote and further diversity initiatives. Diversity stands to challenge much of what has been the traditional views of higher education. The efforts to promote multiculturalism and diversity have caused the academy and the enterprise of higher learning to introspectively examine and reexamine its values, beliefs and relationships to a much larger society. American higher education now sees itself in …


African-American Female College Presidents And Leadership Styles, Runae Edwards Wilson Jan 1998

African-American Female College Presidents And Leadership Styles, Runae Edwards Wilson

Trotter Review

The leadership characteristics of African-American female college and university presidents have rarely been studied. The lack of research in this area is due, in part, to the absence of African-American females in leadership positions at four year higher education institutions. A contributing factor to the shortage of African-American female top level administrators is the "double whammy," or belonging to two groups that are discriminated against, African-Americans and females. The wage gap, institutional kinship, the old boy system, and role prejudice (a preconceived preference for specific behavior by the visibly identifiable group) are factors that have proved prohibitive to the ascension …
