Marist Voices: Essays on Servant and Prophetic Leadership
PDF: English | Español | Français | Português
The book Marist Voices: Essays on Servant and Prophetic Leadership, launched during the General Conference, the 10 March 2022, talks specifically about the Marist leadership and seeks to reflect on the request of the last General Chapter that underlined that “For a new beginning, we believe in governance that favours prophetic servant leadership and closely accompanies Marist life and mission.”
The work is the result of an initiative by the General Government, which found it convenient to have in writing, the theme of leadership, reflections, experiences, and concrete ideas related to Marist leadership and that these can serve as an invitation, motivation, consultation and reference for the Marist world.
The brothers Luis Carlos Gutiérrez, Vicar General, Ben Consigli and Ken McDonald, General Councilors, were in charge of the project.
The work of preparation of the edition was coordinated by Br. Gregorio Linacero, Project Manager of the Strategic Plan of the General Administration, with the collaboration of the Department of Communication fo the General House and of Central America.
The book has 22 chapters, divided into 5 parts: vision, characteristics of prophetic and servant leadership, skills, trails and foundations, and perspectives training. The foreword by Brother Ernesto Sánchez, Superior General, introduces the work, while the preface, written by brothers Luis Carlos, Ben and Ken, sets out the objectives.
The General Administration has ordered the printing of some volumes, delivered to the Administrative Units. The digital version of the work can be downloaded at this link:
Next, the general index of the book, with the titles of the chapters and their respective authors.
