Our Organisation
The Institute of Leadership & Management is the professional membership body for an active, international community of over 50,000 leaders, managers, coaches and mentors – but we are much more than a professional body. We create world–class tools and resources to help unlock individual and business potential, deliver award–winning e–learning, and undertake practical research to support, develop and inspire great leadership everywhere.
We are a registered charity and governed by a board of trustees. The Institute of Leadership & Management was founded in 1947, and reclaimed its independent status as a professional body in 2016. This independence has enabled The Institute to become closer to its members, better support their leadership development, produce cutting–edge research, evidence–based learning resources and to campaign more effectively for great leadership everywhere.
