Management in the service of the person. A new attitude for a new milenium

Abstract

Any discussion of management in relation to the teachings of Blessed Josemaría Escrivá de Balaguer must necessarily take its cue from the message he proclaimed from 1928 onward concerning the universal call to sanctity in and through work. The teaching which from that moment on he toiled to disseminate, and which was subsequently ratified by the Second Vatican Council, is that for the ordinary faithful who live immersed in earthly realities work, done competently and in a spirit of service, is the sphere in which the pursuit of personal sanctification takes place.
