Renaissance Leadership

The Innovation Expedition describes Renaissance Leaders as high integrity individuals with sensitive self-awareness and a passion both for driving high performance in their organizations and for helping to make their communities and the world a better place. These leaders have a sense of history and an unusual capacity for viewing the world holistically, for practicing systems thinking, for injecting a global and a future’s perspective into present challenges, for honouring diversity, and for drawing on ideas and best practices from diverse disciplines and economic sectors. They also demonstrate an ability to take the input from these various disciplines, synthesize it and integrate it for application to a specific complex task. Finally, they have mastered the art of demonstrating grace under pressure, and of inspiring others to have the courage to collaborate and innovate in order to dramatically improve organizational performance.
