Pope Francis passed away this morning in Rome at 7:35, marking the end of a papacy that influenced far more than just the Catholic Church. In his 12 years as pope, he led with a style that offers enduring leadership lessons for anyone in a position of authority, especially in business.
Cardinal Kevin Farrell, the Vatican camerlengo (who is in charge of Vatican property and has the duty of announcing the Pope’s death), read a statement that included, “He taught us to live the values of the Gospel with fidelity, courage and universal love, especially in favour of the poorest and most marginalized.”
