'Quamplurimi et quam aptisimi" (As many as possible of the very best)[1]
I would like to begin my Final Integrative Paper (FIP) by professing that the Ignatian mission through AGSB MBA-Regis Leadership course is being fulfilled! For me, and I believe this is true with my 26 classmates at AGSB Clark; it has been a great journey of "doing, being, and becoming an authentic leader". And with the kind indulgence of the Jesuits, it would be our honor to include 27 of us in the circle of "Quamplurimi et quam aptisimi".
In integrating all that I have learned, I will use the moral structure, which I personally believe is the essence of the leadership course. One's response to leadership, I came to truly appreciate after having gone through this course is actually to attain the universal vision, which is "ETERNAL LIFE". The entire book, Heroic Leadership by Chris Lowney, everything that St. Ignatius wrote in the Spiritual Exercises, the whole lot that authentic leaders wrote, and all that Prof. Saguinsin taught is all about attainment of that common vision.
The Holy Bible prescribes the basis for moral life. When the rich young man asked Jesus, "Master, what must I do to gain eternal life?" Jesus replied by stating the minimum measurement, which is the observance of God's commandments. The rich young man felt good as he has always observed the commandments. And Jesus presented "magis" – to be more by telling the young man, "If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me." But the young man went away sad. (Matthew 19:21)
