Leading for Mission in the Catholic School

By David Hall, Janeen Lamb, William Sultmann

This book presents leadership in the Catholic school as an expression of mission. The various chapters explore and discuss the four principles that shape leading for mission, which form the same principles that guide leading the Catholic school: Living Tradition; Liberating Purpose; Integral Learning; and Authentic Witness. In this book, faith, culture, and life come together in leadership which aligns with a framework for mission that is centered in a Living Tradition, narrated in a Liberating Purpose, engages Integral Learning, and is reflected in Authentic Witness. Grounded in theological and philosophical reflection, the paradigm of leading for mission aligned with the mission of the Catholic school bridges disciplines of education, theology, and psychology to create a leadership framework that is integrated, inspired, and infused with faith. While the overview situates leadership as complex and critical, the postscript invites leaders to reimagine leadership through a lens of creativity, courage, and the unifying presence of the Holy Spirit, shaping a transformative vision for Catholic education.
