LESSONS FROM POPE FRANCIS
I was drawn to this book because as a Catholic, I appreciate the
wisdom of Pope Francis.
This book has complimented my strengths as a leader by reinforcing
the importance of being true to oneself.
This book is beneficial to my growth because it gives me a better
perspective of my own strengths as a leader.
