Preparing leaders to shape a changing world Leadership
We advance the way leadership is thought about and practised so as to better equip current and future leaders with the mindsets, skills, and tools they need to make inclusive and effective policies and decisions. Our approach is based on three interconnected pillars:
1 The 24th edition of the European Security Course (ESC) was designed to help participants understand European security issues within the broader international security context. The course examined current trends and challenges in security, the EU’s interests and impact, and regional security architecture relative to both Europe (the EU, NATO and the OSCE) and key state actors. The course analysed Europe’s interaction with other regions in the world, such as the Middle East, North Africa, sub-Saharan Africa, Asia and Latin America. Relevant transnational challenges were explored, including migration, terrorism and energy security. Throughout the course a community of security professionals was built, bringing together 22 participants from 22 countries and over 50 experts from a multitude of sectors and regions.

Leadership capacity-building for current and future influential peace, security and development actors
Cross-cluster collaborations that combine subject-matter expertise with advanced leadership capabilities
3 Dialogue and relationshipbuilding through education using cutting-edge learning methods that spark lasting connections through a shared interest in learning about leadership
These pillars combine in a portfolio of executive courses, customised interventions, and educational resources aimed at advancing our understanding of what leadership is, how it happens, and who can lead. These activities bring together people tackling critical, complex challenges to catalyse new ideas and learn collaboratively about the practice of leadership. As well as close collaboration with multiple clusters, the Geneva Leadership Alliance nurtures an active and international network of associates and partners across sectors, including our strategic partnership with the Center for Creative Leadership, further increasing our diversity, our scale and our impact.
