LEADERS ADVANCING THE FRONTIER OF PURPOSE-FIRST BUSINESS
The CEO Study:
A longitudinal study of THE LEADERSHIP OF TODAY AND TOMORROW
Leaders on Purpose conducts in-depth research with purpose-driven CEOs of multi-national corporations. Both the CEO’s and researchers involved in our studies represent the vanguard in their field. The CEOs selected meet our rigorous criteria for the leadership of their organization. They are at the forefront of a future-fit business logic.
The work sheds light on how these leaders and their organizations are leveraging their purpose to balance the dual ambitions of business success as well as social and planetary wellbeing. By applying the new business logic, these executives and companies are building the infrastructure and social capital of a new economic model – a purpose-first economy - that can serve as the foundation for economic recovery and for a more sustainable future for generations to come.
We aim to quickly bring key insights to change agents and society as a whole, to accelerate their learning, collaboration and implementation.
