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
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.

Advancing the
Understanding of Leadership
Exploring the nature of effective leadership — and delivering that knowledge into the hands of leaders —
is central to CCL’s mission as a nonprofit organization. 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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Advancing the
Development of Leadership
Through our open-enrollment programs, customized services and assessments, we work across all sectors
of society to make a better world through better leadership. 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.

Managers and executives increasingly face unexpected and complicated leadership challenges
that range from corporate mergers to natural disasters. 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 Center successfully re-launched one of its key open-enrollment programs, Developing
Leadership Talent: Strategies and Tools. 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.

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

Leading financial services firm AXA EQUITABLE wanted
to emphasize leadership development as a core aspect of its
organizational culture — and it partnered with CCL to
make that happen. Over the past year, several members of
AXA’s executive management team, including the company’s
CEO, have attended the Center’s Leadership at the Peak
open-enrollment program for senior leaders. Additionally,
more than 300 AXA officers have taken a customized
CCL program that includes integrated coaching and a
focus on change management, work force empowerment
and other key issues. AXA is also piloting the customized
program in its European operations.
In September 2005, CCL celebrated the 15th anniversary
of the opening of its Brussels campus, which serves as
the headquarters for the Center’s work throughout

As part of its commitment to developing leaders throughout India, CCL has partnered with
the Tata Management Training Centre (TMTC), one of the country’s leading management
training institutes. Founded by the Tata Group, an Indian business conglomerate, TMTC

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.

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.”

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.

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.

The Center continued to serve as one of
the media’s foremost sources for leadership
expertise. During the year, CCL faculty
expertise and research studies were spotlighted routinely in influential North
American business and trade publications
ranging from CIO and Harvard
Management Update to The Wall Street
Journal and The Washington Post.
The Center ranked among the world’s Top 10 overall providers of executive education in a 2005 survey by the Financial Times. The survey also
rated CCL’s open-enrollment programs among the Top 10 globally for
the fourth consecutive year. The Center was the only institution focused
exclusively on leadership in the survey, placing it in the company of the
world’s elite business schools.

Collaborative efforts among CCL researchers and trainers to incorporate
findings from the Center’s “Choices and Tradeoffs of High-Achieving
Women” research project into the classroom experience were saluted by
the American Society for Training and Development (ASTD). The
organization awarded CCL an “Excellence in Research-into-Practice
Citation” for the project.
A joint effort of CCL and the Central Intelligence Agency to develop a
leadership program for middle managers was honored with a “Best

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.

PROVENANCE
THE CENTER FOR CREATIVE LEADERSHIP is working to shape and fit the
theories and ideas of the behavioral sciences with the practical concerns of managers and
leaders. 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.
