Every group has a variety of members and a greater assortment of leaders! The Salesian community or Province too is no exception.
Glancing at the working style (without making any moral or character judgement) of the leaders of our communities, we get to see a wide variety. There are those who are simple. They know they are not complicated or omnipotent and therefore go about their work, seeking assistance and are open to guidance. Then there are those who go about as if they know it all. No consultation. Unwilling to alter course, even if they recognise they have made a blunder. And it is always somebody else's fault - everytime.
I remember a particular phrase Fr Camillus, the former Provincial of Chennai, would use to describe the latter: the arrived confreres!
