About the Company

  • We are a leadership organisation with a single founding conviction: the future will be shaped by the quality of leadership at the top of our most important organisations.
  • We work with senior leaders across society - from FTSE boards and global companies to central government, the military and national institutions.
  • Our partners are the people whose decisions shape markets, allocate capital, set policy, and determine the direction of the organisations that millions of people depend on.
  • The world is at an inflection point. The decisions being made right now - about AI, about climate, about the shape of our institutions and economies - will set the direction for a generation.
  • The leadership model that most organisations still run on is not fit for a world where the future is genuinely up for grabs.
  • We call what's needed responsible leadership: The creative and courageous use of power to shape a better future.
  • Through our advisory practice, leadership programmes and a growing community of more than 1,500 senior leaders, we help organisations close the gap between the leadership they have and the leadership this moment demands.
  • Founded in 2015 and non-profit by design, we combine intellectual and commercial rigour with the relational depth that comes from a decade of working at the most senior levels.
  • Shaping a better future through responsible leadership.
  • We believe a better future is possible, and how we get there begins with leaders.
  • Responsible leadership is the courageous and creative use of power to shape a better future.
  • We help leaders choose responsible leadership.
  • Through breakthrough leadership programmes, advisory interventions and our 1,500+ strong leader community we equip leaders with the mindsets, capabilities, insight and tools to transform their organisations.

Equal Opportunity

  • We are an equal opportunities employer and are committed to fair and inclusive recruitment practices.
  • We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds, identities, and lived experiences.
  • We want to make this process as inclusive and accessible as possible.
