L'Arche Canada Foundation of Richmond Hill, Ontariio, Canada Daily Thought with Jean Vanier "Understanding The Role of Authority"

Monday, 19 January 2015

"Understanding the Role of Authority" Many people confuse authority and the power of efficiency, as if the first role of people with responsibility is to take decisions, command effectively and so exercise power. But their role first of all is to be a person to whom others can turn for help and advice, to provide security, to affirm, to support, to encourage and to guide.[Jean Vanier, Community and Growth, page 207]
