Developing New Leaders for Tomorrow


Here is an excellent example from the USA of enlightened corporate leadership and governance:

'One of American Express' three platforms for its philanthropy is Developing New Leaders for Tomorrow. Under this giving initiative, which recognises the significance of strong leadership in the nonprofit sector, American Express is making grants focused on training high potential emerging leaders to tackle important issues in the 21st century.

American Express kicked off the third American Express Nonprofit Leadership Academy today, its nation-wide program to develop the next generation of leaders in the nonprofit sector. The Nonprofit Leadership Academy is a week-long training program that immerses participants in a series of leadership training and development courses. Through the Academy, participants gain a better awareness  of their own strengths and weaknesses as managers and hone the skills necessary for effective leadership. The week features sessions with American Express senior executives, including the company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Kenneth I. Chenault.'
