Quality Leadership involves leveraging the interdependencies between Christianity, Citizenship, and Quality Management. The result leads to more responsible citizenship, stronger families, communities, and country.

Christianity

The Great Commission refers to Jesus Christ’s instruction to His disciples to spread the gospel and make disciples of all nations. This command is primarily found in Matthew 28:16-20, where Jesus, after His resurrection, tells His followers to baptize and teach all nations.

• Matthew 28:19-20: “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.”

“The Church is really calling us to be missionary disciples and to evangelize and share the good news,” he said. “That’s part of the mission to each of us as Catholics. It doesn’t rest with the institution but with each of us. The plan is a reminder and a way for us to help people take on that responsibility.” – Msgr. Stumpf

Citizenship

Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship

“We need to participate for the common good. Sometimes we hear: a good Catholic is not interested in politics. This is not true: good Catholics immerse themselves in politics by offering the best of themselves so that the leader can govern.” – -Pope Francis, Morning Meditation
