On some level every clergy and religious is a leader. Whether one is a pastor, pastoral assistant, bishop, provincial, formator, spiritual director; whether one teaches, ministers to the disenfranchised of society and the world, works in a provincialate or chancery, focuses on the formation of younger members, works on the formation or leadership team, etc, the cry for leadership has never been greater within the Church.
We believe that leaders are formed and not trained. Clergy and religious are usually more than adequately trained in their particular discipline and area of ministry and competence. It is not the functional and practical aspects of leadership that clergy and religious sometimes lack, but rather the way and the manner of taking up one’s leadership responsibilities on a daily basis that is often unreflective and thus unguided. It is usually our self-interest-strivings that obstruct our leadership.
Formation Consultation Services through the Institute of Reflective Leadership offers a unique program to foster success with integrity and peace of mind to clergy and religious who are in leadership positions.
