President’s Message The Center’s mission statement challenges us “to advance the understanding, practice and development of leadership for the benefit of society worldwide.” This is an ambitious ideal, and honoring it requires that we focus increasingly on the international dimensions of our work as educators, researchers and community members. Over the past year, that is precisely what we have done. We formed a research unit at our Singapore campus that will explore the nature of effective leadership throughout Asia. In Europe, where we celebrated the 15th anniversary of the opening of our Brussels campus, we organized a research conference of leading scholars that will spur valuable learning and partnerships in the coming year. In the classroom, we worked with leaders from more than 120 countries. We made significant progress in translating our assessment instruments into other languages, including French, German and Portuguese. Translations into Chinese and several other languages are also on the way, enabling CCL to work with a greater range of leaders. As our reach extends internationally, we are also emphasizing innovation. We recently launched Navigating Complex Challenges, an open-enrollment program that helps organizations address their most pressing, real-life challenges through a 12-week experience that blends classroom and virtual learning. We released The Changing Nature of Leadership, a groundbreaking research report that identifies emerging trends in effective leadership. We also enhanced our Web site at www.ccl.org, adding valuable new content and further personalizing it for alumni and other visitors. We received confirmation that our work is creating impact from many quarters in the past year. The Financial Times ranked CCL among the world’s Top 10 providers of executive education. A a highly favorable two-part series about his experiences. Perhaps most significantly, more than 20,000 leaders and 2,000 organizations turned to us as their source for leadership development. This report shares some of the many things we are doing together to make a difference. I thank you for your support and ask for your continuing involvement as we move forward in service of CCL’s vital mission. ANNUAL REPORT 2005 – 2006 columnist for The Wall Street Journal attended one of our open-enrollment programs and wrote 1 JOHN ALEXANDER President O U R A P P R OAC H : I D E AS I N TO ACT I O N I N TO I D E AS ANNUAL REPORT 2005 – 2006 T H E C E N T E R is a nonprofit, educational institution engaged in a continuous and fruitful cycle of turning ideas into action, and action into ideas. In doing so, we strive to remain true to our mission and highly relevant to our clients, who look to us for learning that has a lasting impact on their success. Increasingly, individual leaders and organizations face challenges that are international in scope and dauntingly complex in scale. Helping them lead effectively in this climate requires a global mindset and a commitment to innovation — and over the past year, we invested heavily of our time and resources in further developing our expertise in those areas. 2 We saw results in three distinct and critical spheres: the understanding, practice and development of leadership. An authentic understanding of effective leadership is grounded in rigorous research; we launched new research programs in Asia and Europe and advanced existing research projects in the United States and around the world. They are already generating knowledge that will be of lasting value to clients and leaders everywhere. We believe that the practice of leadership is enhanced by nurturing a community of learners — and we organized or took part in numerous events and projects that brought together leaders who are passionate about their craft. The development of leadership, meanwhile, is of vital importance to individuals and organizations in every sector of society. We engaged clients of all types and sizes, from major corporations and government entities that influence global affairs to nonprofit and educational institutions that provide vital services close to home. Our goal in each case — and in all our work — is to make leaders and organizations more effective through better leadership, equipping them with skills and knowledge that can make the world a better place. This report offers a snapshot of that work, of how CCL strives to fulfill its mission by turning ideas into action, and action into ideas. OUR MISSION is to advance the understanding, practice and development of leadership for the benefit of society worldwide.

Experience teaches us that leading globally, strengthening organizational leadership and managing change are among the biggest challenges facing today’s managers and executives. Over the past year, our research and publishing efforts focused intensely on better understanding those key areas and sharing what we have learned. CCL LAUNCHES RESEARCH UNIT IN ASIA With the support of the Singapore Economic Development Board, the Center launched a research unit that will conduct three major studies of leadership in Asia over the next three years. The studies will: ■ Explore how to lead teams across distances, countries and cultures ■ Examine the career and life experiences that shape leadership development in the region ■ Compare the leadership skills that are viewed as critical for success in the region with the actual strengths of existing leaders there R E S E A R C H E F FO R T S I N C R E A S E I N E U R O P E R E P O R T E X P L O R E S C H A N G I N G N AT U R E O F L E A D E R S H I P A study by CCL researcher André Martin found that nearly 85 percent of managers surveyed believe that the nature of effective leadership has changed in the past five years. The Changing Nature of Leadership: A CCL Research Report uncovered some key trends — leadership challenges are becoming more complex; a greater reliance on interdependent work is emerging; and leadership is coming to be viewed as a collective process rather than as the province of individual leaders acting alone. ANNUAL REPORT 2005 – 2006 The Center hosted a research conference in Brussels that brought together 30 European scholars and experts. The session generated interest in potential partnerships that will be pursued in the coming year, including a plan to conduct research on the issue of corporate social responsibility among leaders and organizations in Europe. CCL’s Brussels campus also hired a postdoctoral research fellow who will help expand the Center’s global research into emerging leaders and generational differences in the workplace. 3 MILESTONES 2005 2003 2003 The Center ranks among the overall Top 10 For the third consecutive time — The Center opens providers and third in the world among and the sixth year running — its Asia office in providers of open-enrollment programs in the BusinessWeek ranks CCL Singapore. 2005 Financial Times survey of executive No. 1 for leadership devel- education.

S T U DY O F O R G A N I Z AT I O N A L L E A D E R S H I P G E T S U N D E R WAY The Center initiated the “New Approaches to Leadership” study, which will explore the leadership culture and practices of five to 10 organizations that are using new forms of leadership. This work grew out of CCL’s larger focus on Connected Leadership, which approaches leadership as a collective and networked activity. The “New Approaches” study reflects CCL’s increasing emphasis on the importance of organizational leadership development as a necessary complement to the development of individual leaders. C C L /J O S S E Y- B A S S A L L I A N C E I S S U E S COACHING HANDBOOK The CCL Handbook of Coaching: A Guide for the Leader Coach was published this year through the Center’s alliance with Jossey-Bass. The book gathers a comprehensive store of CCL’s knowledge about leadership development coaching into a single volume. Edited by industry expert Sharon Ting and CCL publications manager Peter Scisco, the book aims to help managers and executives in all sectors of society, many of whom are increasingly called upon to coach colleagues, affect change within their organizations and within themselves. C C L P R E S S R E L E A S E S B O O KS O N K E Y C H A L L E N G E S ANNUAL REPORT 2005 – 2006 The Center’s CCL Press published books on several of the biggest leadership challenges facing today’s managers and executives. These titles included: 4 ■ Succession Planning and Management: A Guide to Organizational Systems and Practices ■ Leading with Authenticity in Times of Transition ■ Filling the Leadership Pipeline ■ Developmental Assignments: Creating Learning Experiences Without Changing Jobs Also, Adaptability: Responding Effectively to Change was published as the 29th title in the Center’s Ideas Into Action guidebook series, which helps practicing managers tackle specific leadership challenges. The Center is actively seeking philanthropic support to carry out the L E A D E R S H I P I N A C T I O N FO C U S E S O N A S I A projects on our learning Produced in alliance with Jossey-Bass, Leadership in Action is a bimonthly magazine that shares practical knowledge gained in the course of CCL’s education and research activities.

Launched in 2001, CCL’s Leadership Across Differences research project aims to identify strategies for leading effectively in the face of racial, religious, gender, ethnic and cultural differences. Over the past year, data was collected in Spain, South Africa, Jordan and Germany; research is now being done in Asia. Efforts to translate findings into practical applications for managers also began. Those tools will be shared in the coming year in a variety of ways, including as part of CCL’s forthcoming Global Program for executives who create strategy and lead across multiple country and cultural boundaries. N E W R E S E A R C H P R O J EC T E X P L O R E S E X EC U T I V E C H U R N ANNUAL REPORT 2005 – 2006 A team of CCL researchers began exploring factors associated with the high rate of turnover in senior executive jobs worldwide, a phenomenon known as “executive churn.” An initial report outlined the team’s findings and recommended steps that organizations can take to reduce churn. That report was the prelude to a major, in-depth study of churn that the team will conduct in the coming year. 5 MILESTONES 1998 1997 1996 CCL and Jossey-Bass publish the U.S. News and World Report ranks CCL is cited by The New York first edition of The Center for CCL in the Top 10 of non-degree Times as “one of the most Creative Leadership Handbook executive education programs. respected in the field” with of Leadership Development. reference to leadership courses. C E N T E R F O R C R E AT I V E L E A D E R S H I P Advancing the Practice of Leadership CCL’s mission calls for benefiting not just our clients but also “society worldwide.” It’s an ambitious ideal, and we seek to fulfill it in many ways. We partner with scholars and practitioners who are passionate about the practice of leadership, and we honor outstanding work in the field. We host an array of learning councils and conferences and participate routinely in leadership events throughout the world.

Creating lasting impact for our clients is essential to our mission, and we develop innovative programs and products to keep pace with the challenges leaders face. We help enhance the leadership capacity of some of the world’s largest and most influential organizations — and influence, in turn, how they touch the world. At the same time, we assist numerous nonprofit and educational institutions in delivering their vital services more effectively.

To help them lead successfully in changing environments, CCL launched Navigating Complex Challenges. This innovative open-enrollment program helps organizations address their most pressing, real-life challenges through a 12-week experience that blends classroom and virtual learning. The program, which launched in March 2006, offers participants the benefit of brainstorming with others in the program, the support of colleagues back home and time with an online coach.

The revised three-day program teaches human resource managers and organizational learning and development officials how to build leadership talent and capacity in their organizations. Enhancements to the program included new electronic tools for gathering critical leadership data and a process for helping participants design and implement a comprehensive leadership development system for their organizations. A S S E S S M E N T T R A N S L AT I O N S I N C R E A S E C C L’ S R E A C H In an effort to make its services more accessible to managers and executives internationally, the Center launched a three-year effort to translate five of its assessment instruments and other materials into multiple languages. CCL has so far identified nine languages that will be included in the process. Over the past year, translations of various instruments into British English, Dutch, French, German and Spanish occurred. In the coming year, work on translations into Chinese, Italian, Polish and Russian will get underway. 10 MILESTONES 1987 1974 1970 The Center releases The Leadership Development The Center is founded as a Breaking the Glass Ceiling — Program (LDP)® — CCL’s flagship nonprofit educational institution a pioneering publication leadership course — is introduced. focusing on leadership and based on CCL’s women-inleadership research. leadership development.

Founded by the Tata Group, an Indian business conglomerate, TMTC will work with CCL over the next two to three years to develop a research unit that will explore pressing leadership issues in India. The partnership will also feature work on a series of leadership education initiatives. D E M A N D FO R F L A G S H I P T R A I N I N G P R O G R A M C L I M B S I N A S I A Due to client demand, several runs of CCL’s flagship open-enrollment offering, the Leadership Development Program (LDP)®, were offered in Singapore. In its first full year of availability in Asia, LDP attracted dozens of mid- to senior-level managers and executives from a variety of companies throughout the region. As interest in our services continues to increase in Asia, CCL plans to begin delivering open-enrollment programs outside of Singapore in the coming year. ANNUAL REPORT 2005 – 2006 CCL DELIVERS PROGRAM IN CHINESE 12 In December 2005, CCL reached an important milestone by delivering its first program in Chinese. Working with Kohler China, a leading manufacturer with multiple plants in the country, CCL conducted a customized program designed to enhance the leadership effectiveness of 24 key Kohler executives. Accompanying materials for the program were also translated into Mandarin, ensuring an experience of lasting impact for participants. “The Leadership Development Program in Singapore was the perfect mixture of nationalities and professions and locations. It was quite an enlightening experience getting feedback about my leadership traits through the eyes of the culture with which I interact.” – CHRISTOPHER ROGERS , VICE PRESIDENT, GLOBAL INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY, SYKES ENTERPRISES INC. C O A C H I N G U N I T E X T E N D S S E R V I C E S G L O B A L LY CCL offers highly customized coaching services that produce results and prepare leaders for success. The Center has long understood the value of honest, insightful and confidential coaching to leaders, and also the challenge organizations face in providing it. Over the past year, CCL developed expanded cadres of coaches who can better support our clients throughout the world, including the launch of coaching services in India and Malaysia. The year was also marked by new research on coaching effectiveness, the publication of The CCL Handbook of Coaching, and the increased use of coaching in our leadership development programs. C E N T E R R EC E I V E S F E D E R A L G R A N T TO T R A I N L E A D E R S The Center will receive $1.2 million over three years to provide leadership training to more than 150 public, private, nonprofit and educational leaders from the twelve counties of the Piedmont Triad region of North Carolina, where CCL is headquartered. The funds derive from a $15 million grant from the U.S. Department of Labor to support workforce development and boost economic growth in central North Carolina, which has suffered in recent years from plant closings and layoffs in the textile, tobacco and furniture industries. The leadership training the Center will provide will focus on helping the leaders of the region work more collaboratively in service of increased global competitiveness. ASSESSMENT AND DEVELOPMENT RESOURCES GROUP H E L P S A DVA N C E P U B L I C H E A LT H W O R K Through a grant funded by the Centers for Disease Control, the Center’s Assessment and Development Resources group teamed with the University of North Carolina School of Public Health and the Kenan-Flager Business School to advance leadership in the field of public health. The Assessment group, which offers tools that help individuals, teams and organizations increase their self-awareness and effectiveness, collaborated with its partners on the National Public Health Leadership Institute. The institute provides leadership training for senior international, state and local public health officials who are selected to attend a one-year program as part of a team. These scholars work on action-learning projects tied to key public health issues and receive feedback on critical leadership competencies found in CCL’s Benchmarks® multi-rater assessment.

N ORMAN S CHWARZKOPF U.S. Army Retired Message from the CFO With a strong focus on innovation and impact, CCL significantly strengthened its portfolio of offerings during the 2005 – 2006 fiscal year. Our efforts yielded a 20 percent increase in revenues, up substantially from the solid eight percent growth we posted in the prior fiscal year. In service of our constituents and our mission, the Center’s work was guided by an ambitious list of key organizational objectives — and we experienced excellent results across the board. In Asia and Europe, for instance, we increased our accessibility to clients by beginning to translate assessment instruments and other materials into multiple languages. We furthered our expertise in the leadership of groups, teams and organizations by rolling out Navigating Complex Challenges, an open-enrollment program that helps clients lead effectively amid complicated and unpredictable leadership tasks. We continued to integrate new technology into our array of programs, products and services, and special emphasis was placed on enhancing our Web site at www.ccl.org. As a nonprofit organization, CCL’s success depends in part on philanthropic support in the form of individual gifts and research funding. We have been fortunate to have considerable support in this regard, and we ask for your continuing assistance. Individuals and organizations around the world are demonstrating an increasing hunger for leadership development, and we look forward, with your help, to answering that urgent call.

The Center as an institution remains something of a cross between a university business school and a research institute — serving as a clearinghouse for innovative ideas and techniques for creative leadership development and education. Though negotiating the elements of this complex charter can be difficult, the rewards are rich when theory informs practice and deeper acquaintance with practice widens the compass of theory. Because of its unique faculty — a blend of talented, widely recognized behavioral scientists and creative training practitioners — the Center is able to conduct broad research into issues of leadership and development in complex organizations, while at the same time applying new knowledge in training programs to develop better managers and leaders. The inspiration for this unusual organization and its mission — to advance the understanding, practice and development of leadership for the benefit of society worldwide — came from H. Smith Richardson Sr., who was largely responsible for building the Vicks Chemical Company. His vision is shared and has been implemented by his son, H. Smith Richardson Jr., and grandson Peter Richardson. In the years after the elder Richardson had built Vicks from a one-drugstore operation into a major international corporation, his thoughts turned to the broad questions of how businesses can remain vital and continue to provide useful, innovative products and services through economic ups and downs, in the face of changes in the marketplace, and in spite of the inevitable succession of management groups. He was particularly interested in this last issue. Many enterprises eventually fail, he deduced, because management sooner or later “loses the ability to recognize and adjust to new and changing conditions.” What organizations needed was not just leadership for the present and the near future, but a kind of innovative leadership with a broader focus and a longer view. Such leadership would be concerned not with profits, markets and business strategies alone, but with the place of business in society. This sort of leadership would come from people, Richardson said, with “minds that could do cross-country thinking.” Only by taking into account the broader implications of decisions could a business remain stable and productive “throughout future decades and generations.” What was needed, he realized, was creative leadership. The dream of an independent institution devoted to the concept of creative leadership was realized with the founding of the Center for Creative Leadership in 1970. The Smith Richardson Foundation Inc. provided the initial financial underpinning and has been a generous supporter for more than 30 years. Today, our research and training programs are widely respected by scholars and professional managers alike. Every year, some 20,000 managers and executives, educators, government administrators, and community service and volunteer leaders attend our programs, and our publications, products and research initiatives reach a worldwide audience. Our logo, with its intertwining wings, symbolizes the complexities involved in achieving creative leadership. Its wings reach skyward, suggesting flight and the lofty ambitions of all who come to the Center for Creative Leadership.
