The Leadership Foundations network leverages the power of relationships and authentic partnerships in cities throughout the world to effect real and lasting change.
Every city is unique, with built-in assets to draw upon to address its unique challenges. Leadership Foundations is a global network committed to a contextual approach.
Tapping into more than 4 decades of experience, our "Wheel of Change" consists of 3 interconnected functions that work together to drive positive and lasting change in cities throughout the world.
Engaging Leaders of Good Faith and Good Will
We move isolated individuals to collaborative engagement.
What book, movie, quote, or tv show has most shaped your understanding of leadership or the city?
A quote that has shaped my understanding of leadership and the city is, “Do not be daunted by the enormity of the world’s grief. Do justly now, love mercy now, walk humbly now. You are not obligated to complete the work, but neither are you free to abandon it.”
While the amount of work there is to do to transform cities is great, this quote reminds me that we are freed from having to complete it all, though our obligation to continue remains. We may never see a huge transformation in our lifetime. The work stretches far beyond us. However, this does not make our acts of faithfulness in the day to day less significant, no matter how small they may seem.
