The Leader of the Future Award

The Leader of the Future Award is about the future. It is about the quality of lives, our organizations, our society, and the leadership required to lead us into a future yet to be defined. It is about values-based leaders of character who have the vision to see and the courage to shape the future. This award is for them.

The recipient is a remarkable leader selected from the public, private or social sector. This award is presented to a leader of exemplary performance and results, and recognizes a leader who has answered the Peter Drucker question, what in my organization could I do that would truly make a difference? The recipient is a leader who epitomizes our belief that leadership is a matter of how to be, not how to do.

The Leader of the Future Award is given to an ethical leader of integrity and character, who is a model for all of us in defining the future, in serving the common good, and in the end, sustaining the democracy.
