Leaders on Purpose is where top innovators across sectors share their vision of a more just and sustainable world. Founded by practitioners from Harvard University, The World Bank, The London School of Economics and MIT, this organisation celebrates purpose-driven leadership. It features ongoing conversations between global executives in business, government, higher education and civil society. These figures discuss and demonstrate how they address complex social, environmental and economic challenges.
Creating a global ecology of health and well being cannot occur in isolation. Leaders On Purpose is dedicated to promoting, enabling and supporting productive cross-sector engagement. We celebrate the kind of leadership that embodies the wisdom, agility and conviction to manage a growing population on a planet with finite resources. We call the executives guiding this crucial process, “Leaders on Purpose.”
Join us and help define the future of 21st century leadership.
