Worlds Ahead
The Center for Leadership knows that behavior and action are what drive effective leadership. Better leaders come from “doing” the right things, not “being” the right people.
Through research, education and engagement, we equip leaders with what they need to transform their organizations and society as a whole.

The Center for Leadership goes beyond “training.” Our commitment to research-based developments means that our programs are constantly molded to address the most pressing organizational needs, setting the stage for practical, long-lasting growth.
These programs focus on two qualities integral to effective leadership: self-insight and developable skills. Each one is fitted to different roles and different levels of experience. Whether you’re looking to develop a new foundation of skills or refine a decade’s worth of management, we are here to help.
If you have specific needs you want addressed in your leadership development, then reach out to us so we can develop a Custom Program. Together, we can determine the particular areas of improvement within your organization and help you take the lead in addressing those areas as a leader.
We know that it’s difficult to evaluate exactly what our needs are in terms of leadership development. That is why we have created the Leadership Competency Builder©, a tool designed to help you find the most critical competencies needed to help you position yourself and your organization for success.
The LCB is a free, online self-assessment based on research conducted and reviewed at the Center for Leadership. It helps you diagnose gaps in leadership, providing you with a starting point for deciding the next step in your development.
In a survey of over 2,500 leaders from companies in 94 countries, developing leadership was rated as the most urgent internal issue facing the organization.
And when it comes to developing leaders, we want to develop leadership capacity at all levels of the organization, from the smallest business to Fortune 500 conglomerates, from individual team members to C-suite executives.
“We're trying to help people think about leadership differently, as something we practice, not just who we are. Every leader should continually grow their leadership toolkit.”
- Dr. Nathan J. Hiller, Executive Director of the Center for Leadership
