MY FAVORITE LEADER

1. MOTHER TERESA
Mother Teresa was born Agnes
Gonxha Bojaxhiu in Skopje*,
Macedonia, on August 26**, 1910.

2. *She was the youngest child of Nikollë and Dranafile
Bojaxhiu (Berna). Her father, who was involved in
Albanian-community politics in Ottoman Macedonia,
died in 1919 when she was eight years old .He was
born in Prizren (today in Kosovo), however, his family
was from Mirdita (present-day Albania). Her mother may
have been from a village near Gjakova.
*Teresa left home in 1928 at age 18 to join the Sisters of
Loreto at Loreto Abbey in Rathfarnham, Ireland, to learn
English with the intent of becoming a missionary; English
was the language of instruction of the Sisters of Loreto in
India . She saw neither her mother nor her sister again .
Her family lived in Skopje until 1934, when they moved to
Tirana..

5. Mother Teresa was a multi dimensional figure, both
simple and complex at the same time. Her faith,
compassion and religion aside, Mother Teresa had
all the qualities of a Manager – grit, determination
and getting the odds to work for her. Her
Management Model was “different”.
