The fluency of Lowney's prose and the compelling appeal of his thesis are such that "Heroic Leadership" offers invaluable lessons to anyone seeking to raise one's career or company to its highest level. Certainly, those who attended a Jesuit high school or college will have a particular affinity for Lowney's anecdotes about intrepid Jesuits, and will readily see the application of the Jesuit method and Jesuit achievement to their own working lives. Unlike most of what is offered on the "leadership" front, "Heroic Leadership" is written in a witty, engaging style that is as amusing as it is instructive. There is undoubted pleasure and pride in seeing how this ingenious band of far-flung priests managed to create their extraordinary ... Read More
