A Note from Our Founder:
Our world, particularly here in the United States, is dependent on well-intentioned, integrity-laden, competent public service. To me, this is an inarguable truth. It has been my observation that the most productive public service has come when there has been an informed synergistic blending of the best engagement from the business, public and non-profit sectors. Hence, I believe that the business sector must be at the table when there is a discourse on public interest. I also believe that one of the most important differences between Good Leaders and Great Leaders revolves around the concept of context.
In service to our mission of championing leadership that works, ConantLeadership has surpassed 1 Million dollars in philanthropic giving.
