Cornwall Leadership Institute
Our base of operations is the lovely town of Cornwall, New York, situated in the historic Hudson Highlands along the banks of the Hudson River. It is from here that we are launching a movement of leaders deeply committed to: (1) being all that they can be and (2) building extraordinary teams and organizations that make a positive contribution.
PURPOSE: The Cornwall Leadership Institute exists to improve leader effectiveness.
CORE VALUES (who we are). We:
- consistently do the right thing and put the needs of the mission and our team members above our own needs,
- act as catalysts for creating shared visions of a positive future,
- bring to bear the full talent of our teams in making progress on difficult problems and moving towards our shared vision,
- spur on our teams to be creative and innovative with a focus on achieving the best possible outcomes for the organization and our team members,
- challenge and support the individuals around us to reach their full potential,
- and foster a culture that facilitates a relentless pursuit of excellence in a supportive and positive way.
STRATEGY: We live our purpose by connecting, equipping, and inspiring leaders, and being a catalyst for conversation about leading and building exceptional teams and organizations. We will use an online community as well as face-to-face engagements and more traditional teaching, consulting, and coaching.
PRACTICES: To enact and bring our purpose, values, and strategy to life, we are putting in place a set of practices:
- Leader Jams (conversations) on important leadership topics
- Book discussions
- CLI Newsletter to capture and share what we are learning
- Leadership Foundations: a learning program spread over a number of weeks to ground participants in the foundational principles of leadership
- Annual Leader Summit: a gathering designed to connect, equip, and inspire leaders who, in turn, do the same for others
