Our approach

Four frameworks. One leadership model.

Every ILF programme is modelled on transforming leadership, ethical leadership, values-based leadership and impact leadership: four lenses on one model of leadership, engineered through the proprietary ILF 12Cs Transforming Leadership Framework.

Our leadership philosophy

Four lenses on one model of leadership

Transforming Leadership

Leadership that changes mindsets first, so changed actions and institutions follow.

Ethical Leadership

Leadership anchored in moral and ethical principle, not expedience.

Values-Based Leadership

Leadership that leads from a clear, values-driven inner core.

Impact Leadership

Leadership measured by transformation delivered, not activity completed.

Transformed leaders→Stronger organisations→Healthier institutions→Transformed communities→National development

The ILF Transforming Leadership Journey

A continuous cycle of leadership practice

Building community sits at the centre of the journey, and each of the other areas grows from it. As leaders empower others, those new leaders carry the process forward in their own spheres of influence.
