Global Leadership Foundation bases the way in which it works with and engages others on 3 Guiding Principles. Each of these principles impacts on and influences the other. As a person gains insight in one of these areas, the significance of the connection to the others becomes apparent. Self Realisation Leadership begins with knowing ourselves and recognising our potential, understanding our preferences and styles and the way in which this impacts on all aspects of our lives, particularly in the way we lead and work with others. Collaboration Leadership involves engaging and enabling others to achieve success. Making a difference in any group or community relies on the collaboration of individuals. Acknowledging the uniqueness of others needs to be balanced with how best to engage them to work effectively together and achieve success. Stewardship Leadership includes an obligation to individuals, communities, humanity and the planet in order to ensure the sustainability and viability of all concerned. Successful leaders are seen to be those involved and concerned about their impact on others and their ability to "give back" into their communities.
