- Global_Leadership_Foundation abstract "The Global Leadership Foundation (GLF) is a not-for-profit, non-governmental organisation which exists to make available, discreetly and in confidence, the experience of former leaders to today’s national leaders.It is a network of former Heads of State or Government and other distinguished leaders who make their personal experience and advice discreetly available to those in power today. Founded in 2004 by F.W. de Klerk, the former President of South Africa and Nobel Laureate, GLF is unique in that advice given by GLF Members to current Heads of State is done so strictly confidentially, with no publicity. GLF's approach bypasses protocol, ensures privacy, and ensures that if a leader is helped to take a successful initiative he or she can take all the credit for it, strengthening and reinforcing his credibility.GLF Members work in small teams, in their personal capacity, to give advice on either general governance issues, or on specific issues of concern to Heads of Government. It is actively involved in relationships of this kind with leaders of government in Asia, Africa, the Middle East, Latin America and elsewhere.BackgroundIn an era in which effective governance is critical to the success of developing countries, new governments are bringing renewed hope to their peoples. In many countries, especially those most affected by recent internal revolt, new forces are coming out of the political wilderness with no experience of government or of working within an open society with free markets and democratic institutions. National leaders today face awesome challenges, expectations that can often not be fulfilled and a deluge of advice from international organizations, consultants and special interest groups. Unlike the chairman and chief executives of companies who can turn for discreet advice to some of the experienced non-executive directors on their Boards, political leaders can often feel isolated, lacking the advice of an objective civil service and unable to trust colleagues, friends and even family. Without good advice they are unable to take the initiatives needed to develop their countries peacefully.This is where GLF can help. GLF comes with no agenda of its own, or of any other government or organization. It offers a leader impartial advice, given directly by former Heads of Government drawing on their own personal experience. GLF’s involvement can be general, on broad issues of governance, or it can be focussed on specific questions where a leader might welcome private advice – ranging, for example, from the working relationship between the Executive and Parliament, to advancing specific goals in infrastructure development, education, tourism or other priorities. The agenda is always set by the Head of Government, with GLF Members acting as personal, private political advisors. GLF is not-for-profit; its Members have a wide range of experience yet are no longer candidates for office; they have no interest of their own, beyond being of help to current leaders facing challenges they themselves once faced. The advice given is private – GLF believes that credit for change should go to the leaders who take the tough decisions. What kind of projects does GLF undertake?GLF Membership constitutes a vast pool of individual experience and collective wisdom which has enabled the Foundation to mount projects covering a whole range of issues, including: handling ethnic divisions constitution making and electoral systems policy towards the WTO political initiatives to defuse conflict security sector reform Presidential office management mediation to help ensure stability before and after elections mediation to resolve institutional deadlock the creation of a climate that is open to foreign investmentWhen specialist technical advice is required, such as business, banking and financial expertise or the development and exploitation of power generation, mining and agricultural resources, GLF can call upon outside support. GLF’s “panels of experts” are drawn both from its International Council, many of whose Members make their time and experience freely available to GLF, and from widely respected individuals known directly to GLF Members. GLF has good relations with the World Bank, IMF, UNDP and many like-minded NGOs in the governance and conflict management field, and has worked closely with many on past projects.Operating PrinciplesEvery project is different. GLF can act on its own initiative, at the invitation of a host government needing advice, at the suggestion of another government, or in partnership with a UN body, international financial institution or like-minded non-governmental organisation.GLF will consider requests from any government that is committed to, or aspires to, the principles of democratic institutions, human rights, open markets and the rule of law. The Foundation’s core principles are discretion, trust, integrity, neutrality and independence, and it will only engage with opposition parties if requested to do so by a Head of Government. GLF will not publicize the countries in which it works unless a leader with whom it is working wishes to make GLF’s involvement public. Who is GLF? GLF is a network built around its 33 Members. All are former Heads of State or Government or other distinguished leaders with first-hand experience of the difficulties of leadership. GLF Members contribute to the work of GLF as private individuals and are motivated by a desire to help current leaders face challenges that they themselves once faced.".
