Since 2000
Every person has a responsibility to lead
Leadership is not a position, it is something you do. We work with people who lead, or are about to, and who want to get better at it.
“The charisma of a common purpose is more effective and more durable than the charisma of a person.”
Gill Hickman and Georgia Sorenson, Invisible Leadership
Leading is reaching out for progress
Governance today, and a world in which everything is connected to everything, ask for leaders. Not one at the top, but many, at every level.
The forces are diversity, interdependence and permanent change. Living is dealing with those forces, which is why leading is not reserved for the people with the title.
Leading to connect. Leading to unite others by building relationships that hold. Leading to make life better for the people around you, and for yourself.
What the work rests on
Connect
Diversity, dependence and change pull in different directions. Leading is holding them together long enough to move.
Trust
You unite people by being trusted, and by trusting. Both have to be built, and both can be repaired.
Practice
Our daily work sits between practice and research. We share what we find with scientists, and we test what they find in real jobs.
If you lead
This is probably you
None of this asks for certainty. Recognising two or three of them is enough to start a conversation.
- You are in a position where leading is expected of you.
- You feel the responsibility to use what you are good at.
- You want to expand your experience, not only your knowledge.
- You want to know more about other people, and about yourself.
- You are interested in changing attitudes and behaviour, yours and theirs, to reach something you both want.
- You have a desire to connect.
The place
Villa Hartenlust
We receive you in a monumental villa on the edge of the park in Bloemendaal, half an hour west of Amsterdam. Tall windows, a view of the garden, and the quiet of a place that belongs to nobody in the room.
Programmes travel as well. We work in-company and abroad, wherever the group is.
