What do humble papal apartments and high-stakes boardrooms have in common?

🕊️ In a recent Forbes article by Edward Segal, LRI’s own Phillip B. Wilson reflects on how Pope Francis offered a masterclass in leadership — one rooted in humility, authenticity, and approachability.

Phil shares:

“Executives who are open to different points of view and want to collaborate can make it easier to connect with employees… Leaders often don’t like to be contradicted… Francis showed that true leaders don’t believe they have all the answers.”

🔥 The takeaway? You don’t have to wear Prada loafers (or live in a palace) to lead with impact. Accessibility, listening, and self-awareness aren’t soft skills — they’re survival skills in today’s workplace.
