Emerging Nonprofit Leaders Benefit from Leadership Advice From the World's Most Inspiring Leaders

by Mark Thompson Email

The Leader to Leader Institute today announced the launch of Leadership Dialogues, an online toolbox featuring a growing library of video interviews with inspiring leaders, including Ford President and CEO Alan Mulally, and Tony Hsieh, founder and CEO of Zappos.com.


Generous grants from the American Express Foundation , in support of their focus on developing the next generation of nonprofit leaders, and Executive Power Tools LLC , have enabled the Leader to Leader Institute to provide leadership inspiration—stories, advice, speeches and solutions—from today’s greatest thought leaders in the public and private sectors, to emerging leaders in the social sector.


Leadership Dialogues can also be accessed from www.leadertoleader.org/dialogues. The site is catalogued by topic and provides current and future leaders with essential leadership wisdom in topics such as diversity, accountability, courage, entrepreneurship, and growth that will help build effective social sector organizations.


“We are leading in times of great uncertainty and discontinuity,” said Frances Hesselbein, Leader to Leader President and CEO, “but we believe this is a time for leaders, a time to chart a new path into a bright future. With the support of American Express and of Mark Thompson, we are confident that Leadership Dialogues will be a catalyst that inspires leaders of the future.”


"American Express has a longstanding commitment to the development of future leaders in the nonprofit sector,” said Timothy J. McClimon , President of the American Express Foundation . “Supporting Leadership Dialogues is an important way that we help provide emerging nonprofit leaders with access to insightful and inspiring content about leadership online, anytime.”


“Leadership Dialogues brings commentary and inspiration from today’s great leaders to the next generation. 24/7 web-based access provides free and unlimited training on a wide variety of management and leadership topics,” said bestselling author (Success Built to Last) and business coach Mark Thompson , who collaborated with Leader to Leader Institute to create Leadership Dialogues, and who serves as Chairman and Chief Leadership Officer for the program.
