Management training
for today’s monastic leaders

Unprecedented developments are changing our monasteries and making leadership much more demanding. Monastic leaders have to look for new ways to deal with these challenges without losing their Benedictine identity and authenticity.

To provide them with effective support, the course Leadership and the Rule of Saint Benedict was initiated in 2012 by Fr. Markus Muff OSB and established under the sponsorship of then-Abbot Primate Notker Wolf OSB in cooperation with the University of St. Gallen under the leadership of Prof. em. Dr. Günter Müller-Stewens. To date, 277 leaders – 35 per cent of whom are women – from the Benedictine Confederation, representing all five continents, have taken part in 11 courses.

The LRB course is led by two academic directors.
