There is a crying need for a Management Education that provides an Ethical Framework, Moral Compass, Environmental Concern, Social Conscience, Servant Leadership, particularly Humility, which tempers raw ambition, Outward Focus-Society, Environment, Family, in addition to world class General Management Education.

To develop effective leaders that exude a blend of humility and ambition-humbition., an amalgam of humility and the magis, This is the Jesuit approach to the idea of Leadership and Management.
