On this page we answer the question, what is Leadership for Change? We explain why we think it’s important and our approach.
You can also view our related training courses, videos, news and events. We also offer consultancy, facilitation and coaching on this subject.
What do development practitioners most need to learn about leadership and management?
We believe that it’s a requirement of those who are leading and managing to seek to be authentic, self-aware and effective. To better connect and coordinate action with others.
To really flourish in roles they believe in and contribute to purposes they are inspired by.
We believe that in turbulent, uncertain times there’s a compelling call for purpose -driven organisations to grow differently and dynamically. And that those in management and leadership roles need to usher in new ways of working and be different from their predecessors. They have a particular accountability and unique influence – to enable their organisations to develop as complex, adaptive systems in service of their purpose.
Good management is the life blood of effective operations and delivery. And good leadership can liberate organisations to adapt, realise their potential and achieve impact. It is often said that the very best organisations “liberate the leader in everyone”.
Our content is tested and informed by our engagement in current concepts and from our own practice as internal consultants supporting the work of development practitioners in all sorts of organisations and sectors as they bring about social change.
Our Leadership and Management in International Development offer meets people in the reality of their context. We support them to appreciate their own contribution in managing and leading and how best to develop. This means paying attention to their own approach in the disciple and art of leading and managing.
