Why Leadership?
We believe that leaders are neither born nor made. Each one of us is born with the potential and responsibility to lead and must develop strong personalities to turn this potential into a lived reality.
We believe that leadership is not limited to individuals. Organizations are also leaders. In fact, since an organization consists of people with a shared task ahead, organizational leadership is an extension of individual leadership.
We believe that men and women across history have set forth excellent examples of leadership. These examples reveal a common pattern which is depicted by the 'thought to destiny' cycle.

The Thought to Destiny Cycle
The "Thought to Destiny" cycle is a central framework in our philosophy, describing the process of development through which an ego matures and applies itself to the environment. It begins with a conscious recognition of reality and through steadfast action, clarity of purpose, and manifold relations, it continuously strives for a more permanent place in its constitution.
❝We have a choice. We can let the garden of our life grow wild and unattended until it fills with weeds, or we can take up the proper tools and tend to our garden until we create a place of unimaginable loveliness.❞
— John Templeton
The Relational Personality Strength Indicator
The Relational Personality Strength Indicator (RPSI) is one of our frameworks which allows us to assess the strengths and weaknesses of personalities across various dimensions as well as their development over time. As an individual matures, novel experiences are integrated, habits are developed, and relations are formed, which may limit or open future avenues of growth. The RPSI framework tracks this development across time, enabling insight into a wide range of areas including internal and external adjustments, interpersonal clashes, and cultural contributions.
❝Love is the will to extend one's self for the purpose of nurturing one's own or another's spiritual growth.❞

The Cynefin Framework for Organizational Growth
The Cynefin Framework (developed by Dave Snowden) is a conceptual model we use in our organizational trainings to aid contextual decision making. By categorizing problems into four domains—simple, complicated, complex, and chaotic—we help leaders discern the nature of the challenge at hand and act accordingly.
❝All that brings drowsiness and makes us shut our eyes to reality around is a message of decay and death. The highest art is that which awakens our dormant will-force, and nerves us to face the trials of life manfully.❞
— Allama Muhammad Iqbal
