Common Purpose is a not-for-profit organisation that brings
together people from a wide range of backgrounds to help them
become more effective leaders in society.
We run a range of leadership development courses that offer
participants the inspiration, knowledge and connections to help
them become more active and engaged in society.
Our courses provide unique insights into how leaders from all
walks of life tackle day to day challenges in towns and cities.
Participants are able to see at firsthand how different
organisations - at a local, national or international level - work
together; how their areas of responsibility can overlap and
interconnect; and how effective leadership depends on having a
broader perspective and better understanding of the people, places
and organisations around them.
The courses bring together people from very different
backgrounds and sectors who might otherwise never meet. They are
introduced to unfamiliar situations and presented with challenging
scenarios, so they can see at first hand how others make decisions.
This provides invaluable insights into how people from varying
backgrounds lead their organisations; why they take particular
approaches and what works and what doesn't.
To get people and organisations working together effectively, our
courses focus on how leaders need to see and act beyond their own
immediate area of responsibility, so they don't take decisions in
isolation.

"Of all the leadership programmes that I know of, those
run by Common Purpose are by far the best, you only have to see the
lasting effect on those who have participated in them to know that
they work and work well. Civil society in a wide range of countries
has benefited hugely from Common Purpose."
