WHY KIND, AUTHENTIC LEADERSHIP HELPS YOU & THE PEOPLE YOU LEAD

The impact of the style of leadership that we believe in is hard to ignore.

 

Research shows that authentic, transformational leadership can positively impact both the leader’s and the worker's mental health - significantly influencing engagement and performance.

It's connected to lower levels of stress and greater personal productivity, driving job satisfaction up x 2.5 and reducing staff turnover x 40 per cent.

See what our resident psychologist, Dr Duncan Harris, says about how kind, authentic leadership can help improve wellbeing and performance.

WE INVEST IN FUTURE LEADERS

We believe that supporting young people at the start of their leadership journey is a fundamental building block in helping them become the authentic, values-driven, people-focused leaders that the world needs.

For every senior leadership project we take on we provide a financial and mentoring bursary for a specific individual or group of young leaders.

We are committed to supporting young leaders from minority groups and communities and invite potential candidates to apply for our next round of bursary funding.

WHY UNDERDOG

Many of us find a connection and a sense of joy in the great underdog stories of our time...

In sport, the world was captivated by the Jamaican Bobsleigh team overcoming adversity and prejudice against all the odds to reach the 1988 Winter Olympics in Alberta, Canada.


In film, we root for Forrest Gump to make it out of the jungles of Vietnam carrying the wounded Lieutenant Dan.

Closer to home, there are individuals in all our lives who, sometimes without knowing it, provide huge inspiration with the understated and consistent way that they lead their lives and care for others...
