I hired James Bonar, Founder and President of the Bonar Institute for Purposeful Leadership (BIPL) , over 18 months ago, first as my personal strategic advisor (Confidential Sounding Board) and subsequently for select corporate Board members. This past April, I further engaged the Institute to deliver their tailored Purposeful Leadership training program to my direct reports. As a result of our engagement with BIPL our senior managers have incorporated new, innovative and practical strategies and methods in their day-to-day practices as leaders. These strategies and methods are being fully employed by our managers five months after the program ended. I am delighted to report that the results of the Bonar Institute for Purposeful Leadership program far exceeded my expectations. I have no hesitation in recommending the Institute’s program to all companies dedicated to improving the performance of their board and managers through purposeful leadership.
