Decolonization, Culture, and Citizenship: Toward a Brighter Future

"To advance the practice and study of leadership for a better world" is the clear and stated mission of the International Leadership Association (ILA). The organization offers a commitment to the advancement of leadership as a broader commitment to the advancement of the global community. Generous in scope, this is cultivated through a community of global membership. Tending to a mission and principles with an eye toward internationalization, global practice, and leadership, we also must contend with the current tenor of US institutions and policy, colonial legacies, and current practices. As educators, our work is in the educational spaces, classrooms, research, programming, learning, and practice. The principles offer us an avenue to advance with global practice top of mind.
