ABOUT US
We’re passionate and committed leadership developers who want to make a difference in Kansas and beyond. We help people lead more effectively on the challenges facing them.
The Kansas Leadership Center (KLC) is a non-profit educational organization founded to inspire and equip people, together, to do difficult things for the common good.
It’s not difficult to see the challenges facing our world today. Look around you. Situations crying out for more leadership are everywhere. Many of us would like to see greater leadership, action, and outcomes around issues that matter to us. That’s where we come in.
Since our beginning in 2007, we’ve trained more than 30,000 people across the globe at all levels how to lead more effectively. Our leadership framework was created after touring the state of Kansas to ask people a series of questions, including:
What makes progress difficult?
Our aspiration is for our leadership ideas to help you and other lead in communities and organizations across Kansas, and beyond.
We are generously supported by a core operating grant from the Kansas Health Foundation. Together we believe more leadership creates healthier Kansas communities. Our hearts, purpose and primary focus are on Kansans. Although our roots in our home state are deep, our reach spreads beyond state borders. We’ve trained more than 30,000 alumni around the world, including in every state and in more than 72 countries spanning six continents.
Wherever you live and whatever challenges you face, we invite you to join Kansans as we redefine leadership. Now, make a decision to act. While we can’t offer grand solutions to ‘solve’ the challenges facing you in Kansas (or beyond), we instead offer small steps forward to collectively paint a more compelling picture.
Let us equip you with skills to move forward. Join us on your leadership journey. Take your first step on the KLC Path.
