Welcome To Advancing Leadership!

Advancing Leadership sprung from a fundamental need within our community to have more of our community dynamically engaged. The spirit of the name, Advancing Leadership, derived from various conceptual aspects pulled from The Leadership Challenge book. It was about inspiring the leadership potential that resides in a diverse population (measured by every measure of diversity) which may not have necessarily recognized those traits or have previously applied them in a highly visible way. We purposefully directed our efforts toward individuals who were innately "life-long learners" with capacity, self-motivation and high degree of commitment to community.

    This was not about:

  • "pulling" others into leadership
  • "directly modeling the kind of leadership that says "follow-me troops"
  • telling the Learner "this is leadership – do it our way"

It was - in its simplest form - to inspire, to encourage, to engage... to "advance" leadership.
