In business as in life, success is largely a function of focus. Knowing what our priorities are allows us to hit them correctly allows us to be successful. What’s the proper focus for leadership? What is it supposed to be all about? Aquinas’ De Regno, offers us an amazing lesson in leadership, allowing us to see that the true end goal of leadership is in the ultimate perfection of those that we lead.

We all know the temptation to glory, power, and fame. We all know the power of its allure and how desirable it seems to be. So what’s the downside? If in fact we don’t live as soldiers of Christ and followers of the King of Kings but become tyrants ourselves, benefitting ourselves at the expense of our flock, what’s the downside? What could possible go wrong? Listen in to my commentary on chapters 10 and 11 of Thomas Aquinas’ De Regno.

Choosing to lead is choosing a kind of solitude, a way of life that few people understand. Leadership has its own crosses and its own blessings, and its own rewards. St. Thomas Aquinas in his book, De Regno, in chapter 10, lays out for us the uncommon rewards for the uncommon sacrifices that a leader has to endure for the sake of God.

For all the effort that goes into leadership what shall be our reward? Afterall considering all the things that we sacrifice and do in order to make great things happen, what does God have laid up for us who have labored so hard for Him? Is it earthly glory? Is it power and prestige? What should it be? St. Thomas Aquinas offers us an amazing insight in his letter, De Regno.

In Chapter 9 of De Regno, Thomas Aquinas makes a startling discovery. He speaks about the reward that God is offering for the leader. And he ends by saying that the reward of the leader is to have God himself. This strikes me as important for us to understand the true nature of happiness – the true reason of why we are doing what we are doing.
