Ignation View On Leadership

From Peter Smith, something the Marquette Administration appears to have forgotten:

For Ignatius, there is no worse error in spiritual life than trying to lead all by the same road. The mission of a Jesuit institution of higher education -- as with the faith -- is not imposed, rather it is proposed. In an “interface” of mutual respect and sincerity, collaborators are invited to share this mission and make it their own, to different degrees.
