Philosophy

 

As current leadership struggles to address the many pressing global issues of our time, the Foundation understands the increasing importance for humanity to give careful attention to one of its great untapped resources: its emerging leaders. The Foundation believes that emerging leaders can be nurtured to develop solutions to some of the most complex problems facing the world.

 

At this transitional moment in history, the SHIFT Foundation recognises that our emerging leaders have a unique opportunity to bring a new mind to bear on many of the critical global problems that perplex our current leadership. This new mind is characterised by the capacity to simultaneously embrace, embody and integrate multiple perspectives and worldviews. This shift in consciousness enables us to identify, access and cultivate potentials that are not currently being utilised and allows a deeper exploration of leadership, development and transformation at all levels of change: self, behaviour, cultures and systems.
