His leadership was above all founded on the respect of the individual and the fundamental rights of each human being. Avant-gardist, visionary, he knew how to communicate his spark and create an atmosphere of confidence and pride in which his co-workers could create and innovate.
"Only love allows us to see the greatness in the other; only love allows the educator to wish the greatness and the value of the person to grow and only love makes the educator able to be concerned with the actualization of this greatness as if it were his own. To love and to be loved are the most profound needs of all human beings and especially of our youths.” (Lionel Desjarlais, 1993)
