Reflection Starter from Chris Lowney

"The Jesuit model explodes the 'one great man' model for the simple reason that everyone has influence, and everyone projects influence - good or bad, large or small - all the time. A leader seizes all the available opportunities to influence and make an impact. Circumstances will present a few people with world-changing, defining-moment opportunities; most will enjoy no such bigtime opportunities in their lifetimes. Still, leadership is defined not by the scale of the opportunity but by the quality of the response." - Chris Lowney (in Heroic Leadership)
