Maybe by posting a tidbit, a mere crumb, from Joan Chittister's May 2012 baccalaureate address to Standford graduates, which Michael Bayly has helpfully made available at his Progressive Catholic Voice blog, I can whet your appetite to read the entire statement:
If you really want to be a leader who leads your city, your country, your world down a different path, there are three stories you should know, I think. They may say more about the kind of leadership needed for our time than anything any MBA leadership manual can begin to explain to you.
I invite you to read the complete address. It's powerful and spiritually enriching. You won't be sorry, I think, if you click on the link above and read what Joan Chittister told Stanford's graduating class in May.
P.S. later in the day: TheraP has pointed out that I'm a day late and a dollar short in posting about this baccalaureate address, since Colleen Baker posted the whole text at her wonderful Enlightened Catholicism site back on 8 July. I hadn't known this when I posted the bit above, since Colleen posted the article when I had taken a hiatus from blogging (and blog-reading) last week. Colleen's posting, with her usual scintillating commentary, is here.
