Yale Leadership Institute

the yale leadership institute (yli) was founded in the 2007 on the reality that the world suffers from a lack of impactful leaders. keeping with this principle, we believe that individuals deserve an environment in which they can develop the vision, moral conviction, and interpersonal skills essential for the effective performance of their duties in a leadership setting. political leaders may allow personal ambitions to overshadow pressing issues; business leaders may prioritize profits over customers or the environment; and other leaders still may disproportionately focus on bottom-line issues at the expense of their peers and surroundings. even with a strong vision and moral conviction, those in a position of leadership often lack the broader set of personal skills necessary to maximize their impact. we hope to change this reality.
