Who's the toughest, Xavier or Gonzaga?

Who’s tougher, Xavier or Gonzaga?

I’m not talking about the two sports teams that will square off in the NCAA tournament. Those players are tough, granted. But the really courageous, gritty heroes are the two guys that the schools were named after: Francis Xavier and Aloysius Gonzaga, two Jesuit saints of the 16th century.

Francis Xavier, one of the Jesuit founders, packed up his life on 48 hours’ n Read more of this blog post »

Quotes by Chris Lowney (?)

“Everyone is a leader, and everyone is leading all the time-sometimes in immediate, dramatic, and obvious ways, more often in subtle, hard-to-measure ways, but leading nonetheless.”
― Chris Lowney, Heroic Leadership: Best Practices from a 450-Year-Old Company That Changed the World

“What distinguishes love-driven leaders from tyrants? "Great affection" coupled with the passion to see others "run at full speed towards perfection." Love-driven leadership is not urging others forward without concern for their aspirations, well-being, or personal needs. Nor is it being the nice-guy manager who overlooks underperformance that could damage a subordinate's long-term prospects. Instead, love-driven leaders hunger to see latent potential blossom and to help it happen. In more prosaic terms, when do children, students, athletes, or employees achieve their full potential? When they're parented, taught, coached, or managed by those who engender trust, provide support and encouragement, uncover potential, and set high standards.”

“Leaders make themselves and others comfortable in a changing world. They eagerly explore new ideas, approaches, and cultures rather than shrink defensively from what lurks around life's next corner. Anchored by nonnegotiable principles and values, they cultivate the "indifference" that allows them to adapt confidently.”
