“The industry needs to ask itself how leadership

development became so elitist. The world’s challenges

are big enough now that we need to think about how

we can democratise leadership development.”

David Altman, Executive Vice President, Center for Creative Leadership

The Problem

“Our nation, and the world at large, is in urgent need

of a new generation of leaders who bring a diversity of

experience and approach to craft innovative solutions

for the many problems faced by the planet and those

who inhabit it."

Ken Olisa OBE,

Founding Chairman – Powerlist Foundation


The Solution

The Powerlist Foundation was created to provide significant lifetime

opportunities for young people with the main focus of identifying,

recruiting and developing leaders for the future.

"Those leaders (our members) possess the educational

foundations, mental capacity, moral foundation, confidence

and humility to inspire others to find a common cause and to

strive for the improvement of society at large."

Ken Olisa OBE, Founding Chairman - Powerlist Foundation


Sharing Success with Tomorrow’s Leaders

Young people are encouraged to learn

not only from world class speakers and

mentors but from each other through

numerous group activities that encourage

reflection and interaction and also to

build rapport with each other.

Almost 300 young people who are

university undergraduates from across

the country have experienced the

benefits of our highly acclaimed

leadership development programme

and the outcomes are clear to see.


The Powerlist Foundation is a distinctive, inclusive and diverse

organisation with leadership and personal development at its core.

“Thank you for organising what has turned out to be a

wonderful four days. I’m sure that the large majority of

what we were taught would one, never have been free and

two, would never be taught to us before business school.

I’m incredibly grateful for being selected to be part of the

programme, being able to learn about myself as a leader,

and being to network and make some life-long friends.”

Tom Swift, Alumni of the 2011 Powerlist Foundation Leadership Programme and now employed by Nomura

Our Future

We have come a long way since our first

leadership programme in 2011. That year

we worked with 38 carefully selected

young people of African and Caribbean

descent who demonstrated leadership

potential and experience socioeconomic

disadvantages. We have positively

altered the lives of close to 300 young

people aged 18-25 who are now members

of the Powerlist Foundation network.

Our focus is on significantly scaling the

reach and impact of our leadership

programme and activities. We plan to

do this by attracting new groups of

university undergraduates from a wider

range of universities, holding multiple

leadership programmes throughout the

year and expanding our work to other

areas in the UK.


“It makes little sense to begin executive development

processes at very senior levels, as many companies

do. Instead the process must start early.”

Morgan McCall, Jr. Academy of Management Executive


“This programme really has been life changing and I feel incredibly

blessed to have been one of the students chosen. I have learnt so many

life lessons such as how to be courageous and go for what you want

and I have also gained lifelong friends. Words aren't enough to express

my gratitude for everyone who made this programme a reality.”

Jessica Magaye, Alumni of the 2016 Powerlist Foundation Leadership Programme
