We believe that leaders are developed, not born, and that leadership is about enabling others to respond to challenges purposefully. Leaders do this by calling on shared values and providing a pathway to purposeful action.
Looking at leadership from this perspective, one can see that leadership is much more about “learning” than about “knowing”, more about “adaptation” than “control”, and much more about “practice” than “position”. To lead effectively, one needs a clear understanding of themselves, others, and the challenges they face. Furthermore, one needs to understand their own values, resources, and aspirations.
