Potential leaders focused on obtaining top transnational NGO leadership positions and executives building a succession plan for their organization carefully consider what is necessary to make a successful leadership “leap”. The Transnational NGO Leadership Institute welcomes global NGO professionals to upstate New York, USA, for a five-day, intensive and interdisciplinary program to gain skills to make this leadership “leap.”

What are the leadership “leaps”?

The program will address the following issues critical to transnational NGO leaders who wish to make the 'leap' to top leadership:

Leading in a Complex Context: the broader landscape of actors and issues; the impact of personal/individual leadership styles; management vs. leadership

Organizational Governance, Boards and Membership: organizational change and design; board leadership

Collaboration and Crisis: communication, networks, partnerships, collaborative governance and leadership; leadership in crisis; leadership and stress

Politics and Power Relationships: symbolic leadership; advocacy

Strategic Decision-Making and Performance Management: resource planning, allocation and management

“In our complex global environment, strong, diverse leadership is essential to the success of the international movement to address global poverty and advance social justice. The Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs at Syracuse University is doing a great service by supporting rising leaders and building the talent pool.” - Lindsay Coates, InterAction

“Leaders of transnational NGOs are called upon to exercise influence on the key global issues of our times even as they manage large, complex organizations with accountability to a diverse range of stakeholders. I believe that this unique initiative from the Maxwell School of Public Affairs at Syracuse University fills a critical gap in ensuring aspiring TNGO leaders acquire the knowledge, skills and orientation necessary to take on those challenging responsibilities.” - Ingrid Srinath, CIVICUS

“The strengths of the program are its ability to combine theory with practice, and it is a unique opportunity to learn about your preferred leadership style.”

“Over the next few years, a generation of INGO Presidents will retire, creating opportunities for VPs to make the leap. We need programs that prepare them to do so successfully. The Maxwell School is uniquely positioned to do so.”
