Nowadays, news and media spend much time representing various leaders and their activities to the general public. For instance, a lot of attention was paid to the announcement of the new spiritual leader of Catholics three years ago. However, Pope Francis managed to remain one of the most discussed individuals in the world due to his ability to appeal to people and gather numerous non-Catholic admirers. He is believed to have set a new direction, as he ‘ruins traditions.’ Pope Francis refused to occupy provided apartments, treat gay individuals with loyalty, ask cardinals for advice, etc. Nevertheless, his revolutionary actions do not have any negative outcomes. On the contrary, the amount of charitable giving has increased (Fortune Editors). Thus, the leadership style of Pope Francis is worth discussing. This leader resorts to congruent verbal and non-verbal communication. Those messages he conveys are consistent and aligned with his actions, attitudes, and behaviors. As one of the outstanding leaders who have an enormous number of followers, he tends to control his words and facial expression so that they reveal appropriate emotions. However, it does not always work as expected. Even though some of his smiles and speeches may not coincide with his role as a Catholic leader, his warm tone of voice and informal formulations provide positive perceptions. Pope Francis is a charismatic leader, which can be considered a kind of gift that provides him with an opportunity to appeal to people. He looks very natural in his way of acting because he does not try to become formal artificially. His leadership style should be mainly discussed in the framework of behavioral theories because his actions reveal the way he interacts with his followers. His non-verbal communication shows that he is rather close to the general public. He smiles at people, looks them right into the eyes, wears simple clothes that are not usual for priests, and uses a car. He also waves to millions of people as if they are neighbors, which makes them willing to listen to him (Constantini). As an effective leader, Pope Francis keeps a healthy schedule that allows him to manage his energy and remain in a positive mood. One of the Vatican spokesmen claimed that he always has some time to rest and reflect, which allows him to be in good shape in front of others. This discipline ensures that he can organize himself and his followers, managing energy in the right way. What is more, he has even critiqued some Catholic leaders for failing to organize their days so that they do not have enough time to rest and allocate tasks properly. Pope Francis distributes those things he needs to do throughout the day so that he does not need to deal with too many functions at the same time, which improves the quality of his work. He also has regular naps during the daytime, which allows him to find balance and be able to reload. Tough conversations and difficult tasks do not make Pope Francis postpone them until the last moment. This characteristic is vital for him as an effective leader because it ensures that he does not avoid taking responsibility and does not procrastinate. Moreover, he likes controversies,
