Our work with hundreds of organizations in many sectors and across the world has led us to one conclusion we are at a threshold. This threshold will either be the outermost limit of our ability to adapt and thrive in today s face-paced world, or the breakthrough to a new era filled with invigorating ideas, access to diverse thinking and skills and the possibility for manifesting our desires. Our commitment is to the latter, and we know that a new approach is needed. We describe this new approach as next generation leadership, which encompasses our on-going commitment to build capacity across seven key areas: 1. Disciplined Practice 2. Managerial Excellence 3. Intentional Leadership 4. Active Learning 5. Entrepreneurial Prowess 6. Holistic Approach 7. Global Mindset Developing the next generation of leaders 2
