Our foundational conviction is that leadership is a virtuous enterprise. It delivers authentic consequences through morally uplifting practices, and credible actions, fashioned in the crucible of strong character.
The professional learning programs and webinars that the Academy offers, aspires to prepare people to lead authentically in an iConnected world with all its challenges and opportunities
We have channeled wisdom at the intersection of many disciplines and multiple world views to provide deeper insight and meaning to the leadership dilemmas and choices that you constantly face. Our waystations and foundational platforms include leadership and management theory, philosophy and contemplative practice, organisational behaviour, positive psychology and strengths-based perspectives, intercultural learning, experiential learning theory, action science and neuroscience.
We have integrated both western leadership-thinking with its more evidence-based, cognitive approaches, and eastern philosophy with its more “mystical” and spiritually oriented homilies, into a rich tapestry that engages your attention, challenges your capabilities and leaves you richer and more fulfilled.
“As its title suggests, this is a leadership book for our time. It is however, far from a ‘quick fix’ or superficial response to the challenge of change. Being! goes deep in helping us understand the complex dynamics surrounding us in our post-truth society.”
Professor David Hopkins
Chair of Educational Leadership, University of Bolton
“I began reading this book on a flight back to Adelaide from Sydney. I was struck by the way it is written blending narrative and research. This is lovely because the ‘humanity of leading’ shines through. ‘Being’ is so core to the book’s message – being present enough to be able to sense, respond and learn from whatever is going on around us. This book’s essence is so in sync with my own experience and thinking – thank you so much for the pleasure of “Being” – it’s really terrific!”

“This book is a great read! It is a refreshing tour de force that eschews the usual business-book pabulum to underscore a simple but profound message: In a world where people are, for the most part, cognitively entrenched, a credible response to today’s leadership challenges demands resilience and relentless learning of new ways of being.”

“The purpose of the book: to address current leadership challenges in the world and to provide a research-based, yet a practical model for new leadership to address the future, is accomplished by Murthy and Murthy. Too often, leadership books are impractical and not applicable to a variety of leaders. That is not the case here. If you lead in any area of life, add this to your essential resources.”
