Partnership for Moral Leadership in the Social Sector
WHAT
The HOW Institute for Society and The Rockefeller Foundation are partnering to advance the ideas and practices of moral leadership. This is a collaborative effort to put humanity, shared values, and principled decision-making at the heart of how we lead, how we shape culture, how we govern and how we relate to each other and to society.
Over the last decade The HOW Institute has codified a rigorous methodology and framework alongside a robust and engaging curriculum to bring the practices of moral leadership across the world, with a particular focus on the private sector. Their programs have engaged companies around the world and they have built a board of esteemed leaders committed to utilizing the practices of moral leadership and scaling them across their teams and organizations. Recognizing the value of this asset in the world today, The Rockefeller Foundation, steeped in a global network and knowledge of social sector leaders, ignited a partnership with The HOW Institute to bring these practices to the social sector.
HOW
The Partnership for Moral Leadership in the Social Sector will be emphasizing practical frameworks and approaches that can be used in day-to-day work. The approach will focus on answering three fundamental questions facing social sector leaders and institutions today:
-
How can we scale moral leadership in the social sector?
-
How can we rethink the design of institutions in the social sector based on moral leadership principles so that they have even greater impact?
-
How can we apply moral leadership as a force for specific systems change efforts?
The Partnership will help these social leaders adopt new moral leadership frameworks, models, precepts, ideas through curated learning experiences, convenings, and the development of original research and thought leadership that examines and explores the leadership and organizational models most effective in the social sector.
OPPORTUNITIES FOR ENGAGEMENT
We are gathering a strong community of practice; including actionable research as we plan our path forward; and partnering with organizations in the spirit of a Moral Leadership Lab to develop new models for bringing the HOW practices to organizations around the world. We welcome you to get involved:
