New leadership requires a mindset change

We are in service of the billions of people worldwide who are still left behind, and who deserve courageous leaders who will stand with them in building a better world – Paul Polman

We live in a rapidly changing and complex society. The call for "new leaders" is getting louder. These are leaders who are optimistic, inspiring, authentic, show integrity, take care of others and above all have a high degree of self-reflection. In short: authentic leaders. Development of authentic leadership requires fundamental transformation of the fundamental attitude.

Leadership programs are largely focused on increasing (rational) skills, usually in a classroom environment. Developing the fundamental attitude of the leader, requires transformation of the inner source. This means a shift from a better skillset to a new mindset. Nature can play a proven role in this.
