Great Leaders in the corporate world and other worlds share some leadership traits. Here are 6 leadership lessons to be learned from the life of Pope John Paul II, who just left for his heavenly abode after being the Pope for 26 years.

One must remember that the Pope is "elected" and thus only the best leader becomes the Pope. In elections, the cardinals vote. Cardinals include archbishops of major cities in the world. The Roman Catholic Church is the largest branch of Christianity and says there are a total of 1086 million baptized members around the globe.

Dear Mr. Rajeev / Ms.Alka,

I have been a frequent visitor to the website of HREra. I also possess keen interest in going through and learning from the various posted PPTs. However, i have been observing that the PPTs at this website are not being revised with new ppts.

I would appreciate if you could spend some time on my request and get the ppts updated with newer ones to enhance & facilitate our continuous learning process.

I also wish to contribute towards the PPT collection posted on this website and hence i am attaching a PPT on "Building Balance Scorecards". You can post it if it is in the larger interest of the website visitors.

Regards,

Anwita
