The Power and leadership of Pope Francis
Abstract
The hyper globalization brings in so many benefits but also a deep crisis, people need the best guidance to survive in business, the market, politics, etc., and of course in their everyday life. He emphasizes, although religious, his messages and gestures to captivate and reflect his dialogue with the world, overflowing his role in the church where he has overcome powerful resistance, for millions of people he is the great guide. How has he done it? Many publications have addressed it only in the aspect of leadership. This argumentative descriptive analysis responds in a novelistic way why it relates power and leadership to Francisco. To study it from this perspective to one of the most influential figures in the global content, it proposes an interdisciplinary and theoretical framework applied in three synchronic moments. The first two identify the characteristics, starting with the theory of the path and objective and the political theology; the second, from the realistic theory of power, differentiating political leadership, the art of government and the vision of Laudato Sí; the third, investigates the fundamentals, with a contextual intelligence and a heroic spirituality. As a result, the actuality of a leadership is identified, as well as providing tools to analyze or guide processes of organizational, social, pastoral and political transformation.
