“Global Challenges require a global approach”
~ A platform of peers and trust in a global community for achievement.
Professor Avolio’s 2003 definition,( adopted in part during 2009 in Prague)
“E-leadership is defined as a social influence process mediated by AIT to produce a change in
attitudes, feelings, thinking, behaviour, and/or performance with individuals, groups, and/or
organizations.”
# E-leadership can occur at any hierarchical level in an organization and can involve one-to-
one and one-to-many interactions withinand across largeunits and organizations. Itmay be
associatedwith oneindividual or shared byseveral individuals as its locus changes over time.” ~
AIT (Advanced Information and Technology)
"Complex social problems today outstrip the capacity of any single
organization or individual to solve them.”
~ Alison Fine, co-author of The Networked Nonprofit.
This is true in the private and public sectors as well.
Our approach is a shared, team or co-leadership model, an open “practice of
practitioners + with academics, researchers and existing centres of public
leadership~”with a focus on the present existing leadership programs in government
~ education, energy, environment and health: our individual roles, responsibilities
and opportunities for the future.
Raison D’Etre
