It challenges traditional, self-serving leadership paradigms that prioritize institutional turf and personal advancement. Instead, the author advocates for an other-centered approach grounded in love and compassion, which fosters communal discernment and institutional healing. By transcending ego-driven motives, leaders can better serve the mission of the institution and the holistic development of students. The text emphasizes the necessity of openness to diverse faith traditions and the importance of questioning current systems to address historical injustices on campus. Ultimately, it calls for a leadership philosophy that remains open to divine guidance, ensuring that decision-making processes are deeply rooted in compassion and service to others rather than the burdens of hierarchical authority.",{"@graph":69,"@context":122},[70,84,105],{"@type":71,"itemListElement":72},"BreadcrumbList",[73,77,79,82],{"item":74,"name":75,"@type":76,"position":8},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":78,"name":9,"@type":76,"position":14},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/",{"item":80,"name":45,"@type":76,"position":81},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/religion-spirituality/",3,{"item":83,"name":65,"@type":76,"position":19},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/leadership-as-spiritual-direction/430601/",{"url":83,"name":65,"@type":85,"image":86,"author":91,"headline":65,"publisher":94,"fileFormat":97,"inLanguage":63,"description":67,"dateModified":98,"datePublished":99,"encodingFormat":97,"isAccessibleForFree":100,"interactionStatistic":101},"DigitalDocument",{"url":87,"@type":88,"width":89,"height":90},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/leadership-as-spiritual-direction/430601.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":92,"@type":93},"Pentious","Person",{"url":74,"name":95,"@type":96},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-10-07","2026-09-29",true,{"@type":102,"interactionType":103,"userInteractionCount":19},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":104},"ViewAction",{"@type":106,"mainEntity":107},"FAQPage",[108,114,118],{"name":109,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":111},"What does the author mean by 'leading in love'?","Question",{"text":112,"@type":113},"Leading in love involves making decisions for the benefit of others rather than as a burden of position, and basing all interactions on compassion even when faced with opposition.","Answer",{"name":115,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":116},"How should a university balance religious tradition with mission?",{"text":117,"@type":113},"The mission should act as a guide rather than a rigid, stifling standard; it should foster flexibility and maintain an openness to diverse faith traditions while avoiding both the loss of identity and the threat to academic freedom.",{"name":119,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":120},"Why does the author advocate for 'refusing to perpetuate injustices'?",{"text":121,"@type":113},"The author argues that facing and healing the wounds caused by past systems through institutional reflection and discernment is a necessary requirement for authentic, mission-driven leadership.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":83,"og:type":124,"og:title":65,"og:site_name":95,"og:description":67},"article",{"robots":126,"canonical":83},"index,follow",{"doc_id":128,"site_id":62},430601,1791167899,{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":131},{"doc_id":128,"user_id":132,"nickname":92,"user_avatar":133,"doc_module":4,"category_id":44,"category_name":45,"doc_title":65,"doc_description":67,"doc_content":134,"file_id":135,"file_url":136,"file_type":137,"file_size":138,"view_count":19,"is_deleted":4,"is_public":8,"is_downloadable":8,"audit_status":8,"page_count":19,"language":139,"language_code":63,"site_id":62,"html_lang":63,"table_of_contents":140,"faqs":141,"seo_title":142,"seo_description":67,"update_tm":143,"read_time":52},1374404730887,"https://ap-avatar.wpscdn.com/davatar_6f874abed73319feea01a86fa6f0fab8","Conversations on Jesuit Higher Education  \n\n| Volume 34 | Article 11 |\n| --- | --- |\n| 10-1-2008\u003Cbr>Leadership as Spiritual Direction\u003Cbr>Scott A.
