About Center for Evolutionary Leadership

Philosophy The global adaptive challenges facing humanity that we call the evolutionary crisis are too complex and systemic to be addressed and solved by any one person, organization, or institution and by the mindset-worldview of our current leaders. Therefore, we believe that we need a new type of leadership, with the mindset-worldview, competencies, purpose, and collaborative approach that we call evolutionary leadership in order not only to transform the evolutionary crisis but to design and build a better world. Our philosophy is that a human evolution toward just, democratic, sustainable, flourishing organizations, institutions, and societies is within our choice, and can be produced by effective leaders, evolutionary leaders, their organizations, and citizens at all levels of society cultivating solidarity and working collaboratively for a common purpose. Mission We support this social evolution through educational programs, leadership development, coaching, and facilitating the emergence of evolutionary organizations and systemic sustainability. We believe that evolutionary leaders are not heroic, or need to have power over others, or have a formal leadership position, or demand obedience of others. We believe leadership can be learned, is democratic, networked, and empowering. We believe evolutionary leaders are committed to their personal transformation-evolution, and do their work from an ethics based on love-loving, dialogue, partnership, empowerment, co-inspiration and fostering collaboration and networking across all sectors of society, and at all levels of society, In this sense anyone can declare themselves an evolutionary leader. Jonas Salk said “that participating in the activity of human evolution is one of the most meaningful activities in which a person can be engaged. This is true because human beings now play an active role not only in the process of their own evolution but in the survival and evolution of all living beings”.
