Our biggest security challenges — from terrorism to weapons of mass destruction to climate change — are global. The leaders who must meet these challenges, however, often are not. The women and men who must deal with critical transnational, cross-cultural issues are too often confronting them with nationally and culturally defined mindsets.

We cannot solve tough global problems unless we develop leaders with global mindsets.

The Global Leadership Consortium is a network of many of the world’s leading think tanks who are collaborating to create innovative and effective approaches to some of the world’s most urgent challenges. By linking national and regional intellectual organizations into a global network, the GLC will not only contribute to the understanding of global security issues, but also address them by supporting a network of globally mindful, solutions-oriented leaders. The consortium aims to:

• Create a learning network of globally mindful, solutions-oriented leaders capable of acting together to create effective approaches to critical global security concerns.
• Produce a versatile, robust portfolio of global problem-solving methods that can help transform disputes into opportunities. 
• Develop innovative and system-wide solutions to key security concerns
• Dramatically augment the capacity of EWI and our partners to have a tangible impact on a number of the most critical issues facing the international community.
