About Us
- How do you make the right decisions, time after time, in the face of extreme challenges?
- How can you foster far-sighted leadership throughout your enterprise?
- How do you build the capacity to do better?
- What does it take to change the world?
For the better part of a decade, we’ve been researching these questions, drawing on insights from neuroscience, organizational learning, social psychology, and the study of ethical values. We published the results in The Wise Advocate: The Inner Voice of Strategic Leadership, by Art Kleiner, Jeffrey Schwartz, and Josie Thomson (available Jan 29, 2019 from Columbia University Press).
