The Leadership Inquiry The Leadership Inquiry is an ongoing learning community of leaders, in your organisation, dedicated to improving the quality of leadership by insightful dialogue and grounded discourse to ensure breakthrough ideas, new strategies and concrete action. The Inquiry provides a rare opportunity for leaders to share stories, learn from one another and explore latest thinking, frameworks and case studies. Each Inquiry is stimulated by a compelling leadership issue. The innovative design allows dialogue on the whole issue and, in smaller groups, focus on a topic within the issue. Topics can range from implementing strategy, leading change and creating an innovative culture to vision, inspiration and integrity, to issues specific to your organisation right now. The vision of The Leadership Inquiry is of a learning community, both within a company and in collaboration with other organisations, where everyone participates, shapes and shares in new knowledge creation. The environment is informal, mentally stimulating and emotionally safe – an all-too-rare experience for busy executives. Read a Case Study of a three-month pilot Leadership Inquiry Series.
