Welcome to our site. We are happy to provide a number of helpful resources for your leadership development. We know that your improved leadership will in turn influence other members of your organization, and benefit those you serve.
Our primary leadership development resource is the Vincentian Leadership Model, which was researched and developed by Marco Tavanti, Ph.D. It is based on interviews with a number of leaders serving in Vincentian institutions and organizations. After further study and analysis, we developed our current Vincentian Leadership Model 2.0. The model integrates the five leadership dimensions of Self, Mission, People, Task, and Service.
Even if you do not presently belong to a Vincentian organization, we invite you to let our model help you consider your action plan for leadership development. To begin, ask yourself who your own leadership role model is. Then ask: what leadership orientations and competencies might he or she inspire? You might also look to the founder of your own organization with this or similar questions in mind.
On this site you also will find the VLA-SELF assessment to help you examine your leadership strengths in relation to our Vincentian Leadership Model. After taking the assessment, use the results to create your own Vincentian Leadership Development Action Plan. We will be happy to talk with you about your plan, or put you in touch with a leadership coach who can help guide you toward your goals.
Please consider joining the more than 2000 people working in Vincentian and other non-profits around the world in taking our free online Values-Centered Leadership Courses. Take advantage, too, of the recordings of our past workshops and presentations.
Again, thank you for visiting with us. If we can be of any service to you or your organization in providing leadership development, please let us know.
