Everyone Leads: How to Revitalize the Catholic Church

Drawing on decades of leadership experience, bestselling author Chris Lowney examines the profound challenges facing the global Catholic Church, shares real-life stories of Catholics making a difference, and offers practical suggestions for change.

The Catholic Church is suffering its worst decline in five centuriesâ€”a precipitous slide that will turn catastrophic unless reversed by fundamental changes in strategy, culture, and leadership style. Even the inspiring leadership of Pope Francis will not reverse the slide without a strategy for action, from the grassroots through the hierarchy. Chris Lowney, a former Jesuit seminarian and business executive who now chairs one of the worldâ€™s largest Catholic ministries, not only outlines the challenges but also maps the path forward in Everyone Leads.

After a bracing review of the churchâ€™s global strugglesâ€”from clergy shortages to declining participationâ€”Lowney draws on two decades of change-management experience to propose an "EASTeR" strategy of five transformational principles: be entrepreneurial, be accountable, serve, transform, and reach out. These five ideas can catalyze profound change in every parish, in how bishops think, and in the roles laypeople play in leading the church. Filled with real-life examples, Everyone Leads outlines strategies that anyone can employâ€”from the pews to the pulpitâ€”to strengthen the church.

As a former business executive who lectures globally about leadership, Lowney speaks credibly about the institutionâ€™s challenges and potential. And, as chair of one of Catholicismâ€™s largest hospital systems, he writes â€œfrom withinâ€ as a Catholic who loves his church and is committed to seeing it flourish.
