Assembly Bulletin March 2016

The Faithful Navigator Report

A leader – whether in the home, church, business, community, or government – has authority due to her role, but her positional power will not bring about good for individuals or organizations unless it is backed up by the cap-ital of character.

— Dan B. Allender, Leading with a Limp

We are all called to serve our Lord, in doing so we then must all be humble servant leaders. I personally have more often reflected on what kind of a leader I am, and will my decisions make me popular; or will I loose the faith of those I lead.

I found something that has allowed me to pause and reset the very emotions and thinking that is and has been a ‘poison’ in how I lead. It is the Fifteen diseases of leadership by Pope Francis. I would like to share these with you.

1. Thinking we are immortal, immune, or downright indispensable.

2. Excessive busyness

3. Mental and [emotional] “petrification.”

4. Excessive planning and of functionalism

5. Poor coordination

6. Losing the memory of those who nurtured, mentored and supported us

7. Rivalry and vainglory

8. Living a double life

9. Gossiping, grumbling, and back-biting.

10. Idolizing superiors

11. Indifference to others

12. A downcast face

13. Hoarding.

14. Closed circles

15. Extravagance and self-exhibition

So much can be said about each of these areas identified by our Holy Father and it would be wrong of me to not ad-mit my own guilt to many of these areas. I intend over the next while bring to you a more in-depth reflection in each of these areas and how I personally will use this to bring about change in my own style of leadership. Through my own discernment, I will also pray for your discernment.

I go back to my beginning words, of serving our Lord and being servant leaders. Remember mostly it is not about the position we do or do not hold. It is about how we our helping others to get to Heaven.

The time is now, that we all become strong leaders, in our families, with our friends, in our workplaces and in the wider Community we serve.

Vivat Jesus,

Equally since we began we have raised over $7.7k and are on target to release further funds to the Arch-bishop in recognition to our second objective. Thank you to every Sir Knight who actively participates or actively promotes our various events.

The Senators Regular season has a month remaining and our playoff seats are ready for your reservation. Looking forward, the Blue Jay information has been available since November with July 2 Bus trip sold out since early January. A second bus in being con-sidered if there is sufficient interest. The CFL sched-ule has been announce and information on both the Grey Cup Champion Ottawa Redblacks and the To-ronto Argonauts is available on our website. The Ot-tawa Fury are launching their new season. Toronto Honda Indy tickets and Chris De Burgh Concert tick-ets, round out our current holdings.
