Dear WBC/ Micah Colleagues:
This month's WBC/ MICAH meeting will be held on January 25, 2012 at 6 p.m. at the Regent's Suite in President's Hall. The topic "Listening a la Ignatius " is a challenging one, and will flex your spiritual muscles. But as Harvard professor Clayton Christensen says to graduating MBA's in the article: If you think you are going to get more time to reflect later on, you're nuts! Life only gets more difficult!
Here is what WBC's new spiritual director, John Fontana, has to say about the topic:
"Listening a la Ignatius --It seems to me part of the genius of the WBC founders was that they saw the need to attend to the work of the Spirit in the world of work and in the worker. They saw that business education whether in business school or in the school of hard knocks tended to focus on the external world of achievement, strategies, analytics, profit and loss and miss important values that need to be reflected on and sustained not only in a professional degree program, but also over a life time. They understood that reflection on these ultimate values is best done on a regular basis in a group to supplement individual contemplation. (So sustained attendance should earn an MBA of the Spirit.) As we begin the new year, let us start with the grace of recognizing our own "gifts for the common good." Let's assess how we are tracking on the vectors of total detachment, total immersion and total cooperation suggested by John Haughey, S.J., and let's use our new year reflection to guide us in 2012."
Hope to see you on the 25th! Happy New Year!
