Clore Leadership

We offer a strong and supportive foundation from which leaders at all stages of their career can develop and strengthen their leadership skills, competencies and performance. Our aim is to inspire and equip leaders to have a positive impact on society through great leadership of culture. We offer opportunities for professionals in our sectors to understand and develop their leadership strengths, providing spaces to challenge prevalent ideas and beliefs and develop confidence in their leadership styles and potential for impact. We provide leadership development programmes, promote thought leadership and fresh ideas through debate and challenge, and offer access to an incredible network of leaders. Our programmes range from a tailored Fellowship, through intensive leadership courses, leadership development days, seminars, webinars, conferences and events. To offer the broadest spectrum of opinion, we commission and encourage research and provocation pieces from a rich variety of sources, keeping abreast of leadership knowledge and opinion. From freelancers and entrepreneurs to heads of established institutions, Clore Leadership nurtures dynamic and diverse leaders. Participants on our programmes are drawn from a range of specialisms including the visual and performing arts, film and digital media, libraries, museums, archives and heritage, and cultural policy. Clore Leadership was initiated in 2003 by the Clore Duffield Foundation, and is sustained by a partnership between private philanthropy and public funding. It has succeeded in creating a sought-after cadre of creative and cultural leaders and inspired investment in leadership on the part of governments, agencies, foundations and charities both nationally and internationally.
