The Institute of Leadership

We are a professional body that helps unlock individual and business potential.

The Institute of Leadership is the professional membership body for an active, international community of over 50,000 leaders, managers, coaches and mentors – but we are much more than a professional body. We create world–class tools, deliver award–winning e–learning and undertake practical research to help unlock individual leadership potential.

We are a registered charity governed by a board of trustees. The Institute of Leadership was founded in 1947 and reclaimed its independent status as a professional body in 2016. This independence has enabled The Institute to become closer to its members and better support their leadership development to campaign more effectively for great leadership everywhere.
