Based on 20 years of work by its founder Jonathan Wolf-Phillips, New Leadership' s core task is teaching people how to effectively organize and lead themselves, their teams, their organizations and their communities, so that they can spend most of their time on what matters to them most.
 

Academics, as well as people working in organizations and democratic institutions, believe that an enhanced form of leadership is required to address many of the current challenges that face us (local, national and international; social, economic and environmental).
 

The need identified is for an integrated approach to leadership, enterprise and democracy education, that enables people (often from a variety of backgrounds and/or sectors of society) to work together to address these challenges, in a coherent and accountable way.
 

We believe that a major contribution to satisfying this need can be made by New Leadership working successfully in a diverse range of political, economic, social and technological settings, including high or low levels of diversity, complexity, uncertainty and stakeholder interests; over both short and long-term timescales.
 

Based on an integral theoretical framework, New Leadership's overall approach is most often used to improve empowerment and engagement of staff at all levels of an organization; increasing the organization's overall effectiveness and efficiency, whilst at the same time also improving the productivity and well-being of its staff.
 

The approach (called 'Associative Leadership') was originally created to help people wishing to take a more collaborative approach to leadership, governance and management in the UK's independent education sector.
 

New services are suitable for a variety of settings including:

Private/public sector enterprises committed to empowering staff to embed and implement good Corporate Citizenship practices at every level within the organization (e.g. engaging with the organization's internal and external stakeholders to develop an integrated approach to sustaining high levels of economic performance, social responsibility and environmental protection).
 

'Third sector' organizations committed to improving their planning, management, governance and leadership (e.g. social enterprises, charities, faith organizations, community groups, democratic institutions).
 

Young people in primary/secondary/tertiary education settings or residential/secure settings (including those with special cognitive and emotional needs) working on: personalized Learning, Personal Effectiveness, Class and School Councils, Citizenship, Teamwork, Leadership, Enterprise, Democracy and Corporate Citizenship (i.e. learning from actual experience in their place of study how to develop an integrated approach to Corporate Citizenship that can be used in their future chosen place of work or further study).
 

The Personal Effectiveness and Personal Development services for individuals have been used over many years by people of differing ages in a variety of settings for a variety of reasons, including:

improving personal/work organization; improving work-life balance; preparing for a major life decision; increasing motivation for an existing personal/work direction or developing a new one, living with certain health issues (in particular, cancer and depression).
 

New Leadership's distinctive approach represents a proven and unusually highly integrated set of powerful and easy to learn and use personal and organizational development tools, able to deal with high and/or low levels of diversity, complexity, change and uncertainty, over short-term and/or long-term timescales.
 

All services are provided by Jonathan Wolf-Phillips. Jonathan has specialized in personal and organizational development training for over 20 years; living and working in the UK and abroad. He founded New Leadership Ltd in 1999.
