A Message from the Principal

I am often asked what is purposeful leadership, and why is it the focus of my institute? Based on my work with executives and the review of some of the best thinking on the subject, it has become clear to me that purpose is central to effective, principled, leadership. For successful leaders, defined purpose is the real source of their energy, focus and power. A leader’s creative spirit is renewed when they reconnect to their genuine professional and personal values, and to their unique talents. Purpose inspires their spirit to believe that their vision of the future is worthwhile and attainable. It enables them to articulate this vision clearly and passionately. It lets them explain complicated issues in simple terms, and then to address them easily. It inspires others to reach for their dreams too. These dreams ignite the spark of renewal that enables them to move towards the future they desire with optimism and confidence. Purpose gives them a new sense of control over their destiny. In recognizing their true talents and values, they gain the self-knowledge, the awareness, they need to be a purposeful leader.

We are pleased to announce that Devan Potter-Bonar has been recently appointed Director of the newly created Administration & Operations department of the Bonar Institute.
