Taking the learnings from our research and teaching experience in Oxford, we aim to make world-class leadership education available to present and future leaders everywhere.
In Oxford, we run the Oxford Future Leaders Programme, which which offer leadership development opportunities for undergraduate and postgraduate students. For experienced leaders, our Oxford Leadership & Character Programme is a five-day residential experience combining Oxford tutorials, experiential learning, and practical reflection to strengthen leadership performance, build resilient teams, and shape cultures of trust, courage, and excellence. We also co-host the Global Leadership Challenge, bringing together students and young professionals from around the world to tackle pressing global issues through the lens of character and leadership.
Our free, 30-day online course, Leading with Character, makes character-based leadership education accessible to anyone, anywhere. Developed in partnership with the Human Flourishing Program at Harvard University and the Legatum Foundation, the course helps participants cultivate the character needed to lead effectively and ethically.
Alongside these programmes, we deliver bespoke leadership development experiences for high-potential young leaders, including Laidlaw Scholars and HKJC Scholars, helping them develop the character and judgement to lead well in their respective fields.
Through the Global Leadership Initiative, I have been given a space in which to share and reflect on my current and future work in the world, and the character traits I want to embody as I continue to take on leadership roles.
