Our History
Founded in 2003 by Prof. Delanyo Adadevoh, the International Leadership Foundation (ILF) is a global initiative in direct response to the need for developing leaders of integrity who can lead transformation in their spheres of influence and in broader society. ILF believes that societies with new futures can be created through mindset shifts that result from engagements with truth and corresponding right actions. Transforming minds results in transforming leadership understandings and actions and, consequently, in transforming societies that are values-driven, cohesive, and effective. New societies call for new leadership, and new leadership calls for new mindsets. Therefore, the renewal of mindsets is foundational to societal transformation.
ILF focuses on developing and equipping leaders of integrity with the competencies to lead transformation with clear principles and processes.
Since 2003, ILF’s operations have expanded from Africa to Latin America, Asia, Europe, and North America. Transforming leadership initiatives have equipped over 25,000 leaders, including Heads of State, Prime Ministers, top public servants, politicians, and leaders in business and academia. ILF develops leaders to spearhead transformation in specific spheres of society, including family, government, religion, education, science and technology, business/economics, media, and sports/arts/entertainment.
