Leading With Purpose

What This Programme Is

Leading with Purpose develops capacity to articulate compelling purpose, make decisions from clear values, demonstrate courage, create cultures of meaning, and drive organizational action through vision. Drawing on Viktor Frankl's logotherapy showing that meaning is the primary human drive, Simon Sinek's "Start with Why" framework, Bill George's authentic leadership from True North, and Rushworth Kidder's ethical decision-making for right vs. right dilemmas, this program builds leaders who lead from deep purpose and authentic values, creating organizations where people find growth, impact, and meaningful relationships.
