A message from our Founder, Lori Hanau, on the value of sharing leadership and power and our work at Global Round Table Leadership

Co-Creating Inclusive, Innovative & Human-Centric Workplace Culture

For many of us, work has been challenging and traumatic. Whether consciously or unconsciously, we’ve been operating under a dominant cultural paradigm that values production over people, roles over relationships, and separation over systems thinking. 

We’re here to help you change this.

The Shared Leadership Framework™

We exist to activate potential and wisdom on both the individual and organizational levels and we are answering the call to humanize the workplace. As a coaching and mentoring company and certified B Corp, we are dedicated to guiding executives, organizations and networks in making the transformation to sharing leadership and sharing power.

Through the principles of our Shared Leadership Framework™ and the practices of our The Shared Leadership Journey™, we guide executives and teams to make the transformational shift to sharing leadership and power, teaching them how to co-create thriving, resilient systems and positive, innovative workplace cultures.

Founded in 2002 by Lori Hanau, we’ve led companies, teams, and networks for over 20 years in learning how to create – and sustain – thriving workplaces and resilient businesses through the principles of our Shared Leadership Framework™ and The Shared Leadership Journey™.

Healthy, Sustainable Work
Cultures Start with Clear Values

Beliefs, principles and values infuse the actual systems and structures that form the foundation of any business.  Sharing leadership and sharing power starts with the right attitude, rooted in care. As a Certified Benefit Corporation, we are committed to measuring our impact in the five areas of community, environment, governance, workers, and customers. Learn more about our B Corp status.

The Four Guiding Attitudes of
The Shared Leadership Framework™

To start, practicing equality is one of the four pillars of The Shared Leadership Framework™, and equity is at the core of what it means to truly share power. We believe in and practice fundamental inclusivity, recognizing each other and meeting as equals in the best of our humanity—what exists at the core of us—before relating through roles, status, and expertise. The Four Guiding Attitudes of The Shared Leadership Framework™ as practices are: 

  • Openness

    We’re open with ourselves and each other in order to learn together, cultivating compassion, kindness, and curiosity.

  • Authenticity

    We’re authentic and honest in what we say and do, cultivating humility and self-reflection.

  • Vunerability

    We’re willing to be uncomfortable with the tension or conflict that leads to breakthrough, transformation, and wisdom, cultivating courage, strength, softness, and patience.

  • Commitment

    We practice wholehearted intentions by caring to show up and “walking our talk,” cultivating love, trust, and presence.
