Functionalism, which is the dominant philosophy of our time, views the world externally and mechanically and describes things in terms of how they work. But it cannot answer the "why" or (especially) the "who" questions. Leadership, however, requires an ability to recognize the sacredness of individuality. Each of us lives simultaneously in four different words: system, society, behavior, and experience. True leaders know that effecting change is possible only in the realm of experience. Change often begins in the human imagination, from which true leaders draw five necessary qualities: integrity, a gift for awakening others, compassion, spontaneity, and an ability to make use of failure--which is of course at the heart of crucifixion, resurrection, and incarnation. Healthcare today is caught up in a conversation between mission and market. Catholic healthcare leaders, who believe healthcare is a human right, will have to use all their powers of memory and imagination to invoke the vision of the ministry's founders. In that way, they may reawaken our numbed hearts.
功能主义是我们这个时代占主导地位的哲学，它从外部和机械的角度看待世界，并用事物的运作方式来描述它们。但它无法回答“为什么”，尤其是“谁”的问题。然而，领导力需要具备认识到个体神圣性的能力。我们每个人同时生活在四个不同的世界中：系统、社会、行为和体验。真正的领导者知道，只有在体验的领域才能实现变革。变革往往始于人类的想象力，真正的领导者从中汲取五种必要品质：正直、唤醒他人的天赋、同情心、自发性以及利用失败的能力——而这当然是受难、复活和道成肉身的核心。当今的医疗保健陷入了使命与市场之间的对话。天主教医疗保健领导者认为医疗保健是一项人权，他们将不得不运用所有的记忆和想象力来唤起该部门创始人的愿景。通过这种方式，他们可能会唤醒我们麻木的心。
