The 10 Scientific Truths of Whole + Intentional Leader Development

What would change if we intentionally prepared a generation of courageous and sacrificial leaders who will bring thoughtfulness, conviction, hope, resourcing, strategic thinking, and deeply rooted care to the institutions and people they serve?

At WiLD Leaders, this is the driving mission behind our work. As a team committed to whole and intentional leader development, our philosophy and strategies have always been about the systematic integration of science, practice, and the real-life experience of leaders.

While an impatient culture may demand oversimplified solutions to our leadership crisis across our world, that doesn’t mean they will work. There is much brilliance and wisdom to draw upon from the decades of research behind leader development. We often ignore science for the sake of solutions that are attractive, but may have little to do with what it actually takes to develop a leader. It's time for us to connect the evidence to the real experience of leaders.

What are the 10 scientifically informed truths of whole and intentional leader development?
