„‟Libérer le potentiel de leadership
en nous‟‟

Huit imporantes dimensions

Rather than seeing leadership as the authoritative powers of

one man, we have an 8 Dimensional Leadership Model (see
opposite) , which relies on each individual‟s ability to inspire
and bring together other leaders to work to a common goal
From its establishment in 1991, LEAD has developed
programmes that inspire people to take a leading role in their Leadership
Leadership
communities, governments, businesses and personal life

“Leadership in sustainable development, preparing young people to

take on the complex task of learning to live sustainably on this planet,
should be the cornerstone of what our generation can do to help the
next generation meet these challenges. LEAD has been at the
forefront of that mission since its inception, providing a sense of
direction and hope in face of continuing ecological decline and
worsening social injustice.”
Jonathon Porrit
Co-Founder and Programme Director, Forum for the Future, and
Chairman of the UK Sustainable Development Commission

Our Vision of Sustainable
Development
LEAD‟s approach to sustainable development
is based on the triple bottom-line model
Economic Issues: green and competitive,
environmental liability, regulatory burden, new
streams of products and services to the „bottom
of the pyramid‟, risk management, reputation,
socially responsible investment (SRI)
Environmental Issues: climate change –
mitigation and adaptation, energy consumption,
renewable energy, resource efficiency, waste
management, recycling, water consumption
and pollution, eco-design, life-cycle analysis,
biodiversity
Social Issues: stakeholder engagement,
coping with population growth and
understanding the human relationship with the
built-environment, diversity in the workplace,
job creation (hiring from local communities),
staff expectations, human rights in the supply
chain

Our Vision of Sustainable
Development
LEAD‟s approach to sustainable development
is based on the triple bottom-line model
• L‟agenda 21 „‟ stipule dans ses principes
d‟action (point 37.1) que « l‟aptitude d‟un pays
à s‟engager dans la voie d‟un développement
durable dépend, en grande partie, des
capacités de sa population et de ses
institutions ainsi que de sa situation
écologique et géographique.
• La réalisation de cet objectif requiert, plus
particulièrement en Afrique, l‟existence d‟une
nouvelle génération de leaders plus sensibles
à la dimension globale des problèmes
d‟environnement et de développement.
• Dans cette perspective, LEAD s’emploie à
mettre en œuvre dans différentes régions du
monde des programmes de renforcement de
capacités visant à favoriser l’émergence d’une
nouvelle génération de leaders mieux outillés
face aux problèmes complexes que pose
l’application des politiques de développement.

Capacity building local stakeholders: site-based
projects where LEAD builds the capacity of local
communities, NGOs and even local governments in a
wide range of subjects
our work enables these groups to have a structured and
innovative approach in finding solutions to sustainable
livelihoods and in engaging more effectively with the
business community
Stakeholder Engagement Programme: training that
provides multiple skills for staff from multi-national
organisations to deal with stakeholder pressure at site
level
LEAD‟s holistic view of sustainable development gives
participants the ability to understand the need for
partnerships and collaboration and take informed
decisions in developing and implementing successful
stakeholder engagement strategies
Policy, Consultation and Networking: multi-
stakeholder dialogues that increase public understanding
of sustainable development agenda and provide
invaluable input to policy and business strategy
By activating our network of fellows, we have an unique
ability to gather representatives from different sectors
around the world
15
Tomorrow‟s Leaders: a development programme targeted
at mid-career professionals, identified as high flyers by their
organisation and who will the occupying leading positions in
the next ten years
By immersing participants in projects at grass root level
from the LEAD network and challenging them to find creative
solutions, the programme is a life-changing experience
Executive Programme: a short course that challenges top
executives understanding of sustainable development and
the implications it has to their businesses
Looking strategically at the role of corporations towards
sustainable development, the course enables top executives
to appreciate the expectations of different stakeholders and
to realize their own role as to guarantee a sustainable future
for their organisations
Fellows Training: a training programme aimed at a new
generation of leaders, from different sectors of society
throughout the world, in leadership and sustainable
development

share ideas and to work together on projects contributing to
sustainable development

countries and the aim of the programme is to contribute to the
emergence of a network of leaders committed to sustainable
development and endowed with strong capacity in terms of
policy evaluation and prospective thinking with regards to the
region.
LEAD Francophone Africa five (5) cohorts have been
already trained from cohort 9. 120 fellows

African Member Programmes (LEAD Anglophone West Africa

Covers 24 Countries
15 National Associations
Le décalage entre les préoccupations des
peuples et les options des élites dirrigeantes
est à l‟origine des difficultés qui assaillent
l‟Afrique : exclusions sociales, famines,
paupérisation, dégradation des ressources
naturelles, instalibilité politique, conflits et
guerres, etc. dans ce contexte, le
renforcement d‟une masse critique de
dirrigeants avisés, entreprenants et capables
d‟exercer une influence sur les politiques et
les stratégies des institutions auxquelles ils
appartiennent constitue une exigence vitale.
C‟est pourquoi, l‟ambition du programme
Lead Afrique francophone est de contribuer à
faire émerger dans la région un leadership
de type nouveau plus sensible et ouvert aux
exigences du développement durable.
