1. “Keys to the prophetic imagination“
Ălvaro SepĂșlveda, FMS – Santa MarĂa de los Andes, Chile
Psychologist
PDF English | Español | Français | PortuguĂȘs > VIDEO
It is important to recall that the publication of the 22-chapter work “Marist Voices: Essays on Servant and Prophetic Leadershipâ is an initiative that responds to the invitation of the XXII General Chapter that suggests âidentifying and forming leaders, lay and brothers, at all levels, given growing in co-responsibility for Marist life and missionâ.
For leadership there is only one road: service. There is no other way. If you have many qualities, the ability to communicate, etc., but if you are not a servant, your leadership will fail, it is useless, it has not power to gather [people] together⊠Leadership must enter into service, but with a personal love for the people.
(Pope Francis, 2014)
