Reviews

[Davis Haguma]

Havard masterfully discusses how magnanimity and humility are the two indispensable virtues for leadership. I liked how he linked them to the cardinal virtues, clearly explaining how these two are specific to leadership.

[Eric Swanson · Rating 4 out of 5]

There is much that this short book has to offer. To anyone who wishes to grow in the cardinal virtues and adopt a mental ethic conducive to holiness - I'd highly recommend this. St. Paul calls us "not to be conformed to the world, but the renewing of [our] minds". Therefore, as we arise in a decadent world - we must commission ourselves to worthwhile reading and reflection. Our minds are akin to a fertile garden - where seeds of growth or destruction may grow. We should take heed then, what we allow into our minds. There is also a section at the end which includes some more practical tips for the pursuit of magnanimity and humility.

Great read!

Novamente, Havard apresenta um belo trabalho, com as características essenciais de um líder: magnanimidade e humildade. De forma clara e objetiva ele mostra como podemos exercitar essas duas virtudes, para alcançar ideias nobres, que façam diferença em toda a sociedade. Como não poderia deixar de ser, busca boa parte de suas conclusões, frutos de muitas pesquisas e aplicações reais, na filosofia cristã.

Recomendo.

Great book about catholic virtues. Explained in short, to the point texts with many examples from real life.
It is how to live carefree fullfiling and happy life like a saint.

While I can't quite put my finger on it, I did not get a lot out of this book. In the end, it comes across as a lot of pretty words about leadership.

Creo que era demasiado denso para el momento en el que lo estaba leyendo. No me cogió mucho. Solo leí un capítulo.
