Leadership Foundation for Higher Education
The Leadership Foundation's vision is that the leadership, governance and management of UK higher education institutions is regarded as world-class and the practice of excellence in leadership attracts the same high esteem as excellence in research, teaching and learning.
Leaders equipped for the future
The Leadership Foundation's mission is to deliver a significant and visible contribution towards equipping current and future leaders in higher education with the skills and the awareness of good practice to help them deliver continuous improvement and respond to future challenges by:
- developing, commissioning and delivering high quality programmes
- demonstrating the benefits of tailored development approaches for leadership teams in individual higher education institutions
- actively promoting a culture of organisational learning and reflection
- promoting equality and diversity by creating a larger pool from which future leaders, governors and managers within higher education can be drawn
- enhancing the esteem given to effective leaders, governors and managers, thus encouraging a larger and more diverse pool of candidates to seek these positions.
In the time since our inception six years ago, the Leadership Foundation has become a well established part of the higher education sector.
