“It is not enough to do good. It must be done well.”
–St. Vincent de Paul
Often our understanding of living a Vincentian life is about giving to a charitable cause or volunteering for service projects. At DePaul, we challenge you to go further — to lead like St. Vincent and allow the Vincentian leadership orientations of
Self,
Mission,
People,
Service, and
Task to guide you throughout your life.
Our project awakens and advances the vision, values and leadership practices of St. Vincent de Paul in people and organizations worldwide. Understanding the leadership orientations from the
Vincentian Leadership Model will help you grow into the kind of mindful leader needed in non-profit organizations, government and corporations large and small.

In this brief article, Dr. J. Patrick Murphy, C.M., connects the extraordinary leadership and management genius of Saint Vincent de Paul to the best practices of contemporary leaders. The link above will direct you to the printable version of the booklet in many different languages.
