Lowney's book provides readers with a deeper understanding of the Jesuit formation that helped shape Pope Francis, as well as how this training may influence our Holy Father's leadership style.

The history of the unique formula for molding leaders that have guided the Jesuits for more than 450 years
An in-depth examination of the four key elements of Jesuit formation: self-awareness, ingenuity, love, and heroism
Modern-day examples of how successful leaders in today's culture are best served when these guiding principles are applied
Chris Lowney on Pope Francis's Jesuit Leadership Style:
"Lowney's examination of the principles of Jesuit leadership…makes for fascinating reading. Jesuits and lay alike will find much to celebrate and emulate."
—Bradley M. Schaeffer, S.J., president, Jesuit Conference
"Heroic Leadership advances a leadership unafraid to put love at the center. This is a lively, witty book about profound matters."
—James N. Loughran, S.J., president, Saint Peter's College
"Lowney demonstrates how today's organizations need to scrap the traditional and narrow vision of leadership and adopt the Jesuit model of 'everyone is a leader'."

"I am confident that I would have been a far more effective leader if I had read Heroic Leadership years ago. Highly recommended!"
