I. The Program

1. What is MasterClass Leadership?
It is a global, value-based leadership program and community for leaders with the participation of world authorities
2. What are the 15 Principles of Leadership acc. to Pope Francis?

Inspired by the Pope's speech, Gary Hamel, one of the leading authorities in the field of leadership, published in Harvard Business Review 15 Principles of Leadership acc. To Pope Francis https://hbr.org/2015/04/the-15-diseases-of-leadership-according-to-pope-francis), emphasizing that although these words were spoken among the staff of the Vatican Curia, they can be an excellent signpost for anyone, regardless of religion, nationality, age or profession. The Pope pointed out 15 problems that leaders and institutions are grappling with today. Among them were: arrogance, intolerance, myopia and pettiness.

Principle 1: Don’t think that you’re immortal or indispensable
Principle 2: Don’t overwork
Principle 3: Never lose sensitivity
Principle 4: Be spontaneous
Principle 5: Take care of fellowship
Principle 6: Remember those who helped you
Principle 7: Value others higher than yourself
Principle 8: Don’t lose touch with reality
Principle 9: Don’t gossip, don’t complain, don’t bite
Principle 10: Don’t idolise your superiors
Principle 11: Don’t be indifferent to others
Principle 12: Smile!
Principle 13: Money is not the most important thing
Principle 14: Don’t lock yourselves in groups
Principle 15: Don’t promote yourself at all costs

3. Is the program related to Vatican or the Pope?
MasterClass Leadership is not a religious initiative.

Pope Francis is one of the faces of the program. According to research conducted by the American Edelman Agency in 24 countries, pope Francis has been recognised as the World’s Most Authentic Leader

The program is addressed to young and mature leaders worldwide (regardless of religion or culture). "Leadership is everything because it determines whether organizations rise or fall."

Our mission is to shape conscious leaders, especially young people from all over the world, who will use their activities wisely for the common good.
4. What are the origins of the program?
At the initiative of the CTN Foundation and PCC, an agreement was signed on the joint implementation of a global program addressed to leaders, which, through workshops, events, and videos, helps leaders understand the transformations of the contemporary world and prepare for future challenges.

On the initiative of the CTN Foundation and PCC, an agreement was signed on the joint implementation of a global program addressed to leaders, which, through workshops, events, and videos, helps leaders understand the transformations of the contemporary world and prepare for future challenges.

On December 22, 2014, an unusual event took place in the Clementine Hall of the Apostolic Palace. Pope Francis did, in the face of cardinals and staff of the Vatican Curia, something that no other pope had ever done before. He publicly drew the attention of his employees to 15 diseases from which the institutional Church – one of the world's largest corporations – suffers.
5. What is unique about the programme?

The unique value of the program lies in the integration of an international community of leaders within a functional mobile application

  • Meetings in Rome, Szczawnica, Jerusalen (in the Ted formula) with the participation of international practitioners and leadership authorities.
  • Sharing knowledge and the possibility of gaining a live and an online mentoring relationship with high-class leaders in business, science and culture, world authorities.
  • Film recordings with world-class experts and media authorities who will transfer knowledge and experience at the highest level in beautifully produced video series
6. Why is it important?

According to a report by Deloitte the “Millennials” generation recognize leadership as the most important competence in today's business world. At the same time, the study speaks of errors of corporations and companies: lack of community, creativity, trust, justice, sense of a deeper meaning.
