Lessons From Pope Francis In Managing A University, John J. Petillo

SHU Faculty Publications

Pope Francis is trending as the model for transforming corporate cultures through humble leadership. As a Roman Catholic University, Sacred Heart is perhaps more attuned than most colleges to what might be called "The Management Secrets of Pope Francis," but they can be applied to institutions of higher learning anywhere. Whether administrators, faculty or staff, we are here because of the students. It is imperative that we consider their interests in everything we do. Like Pope Francis, we must shed the trappings of our titles and serve.
