About

Center for Transformative Leadership

Our vision and Practice

CTL uses leadership as a practice to enable profound growth. Being part of a global community of leadership thought and practice, we bring together decades of experience in the fields of leadership development, skill training and collective meaning-making to synthesize an innovative brand of work.

RETHINKING leadership is demanded of us all, with each new challenge the world constantly brings to us. We don’t treat leadership as something reserved for certain roles or positions, but as actionable capacities inherent within collectives. Our emphasis is on developing human capacities parallel to systemic structures and new routines.

PRACTICE is key to leading in a way that supports growth. By focusing on continuously growing our own knowledge and skill base, we prepare ourselves for meeting the unmet needs of future challenges.

THIS culminates in our vision for cultivating leadership as a practice. In order to do so, we have established ourselves as a working laboratory amongst co-learners. Together we are finding new ways for supporting leaders in rethinking leadership practices in the modern world.
