Leadership Formation in Practice

At Hodos Institute, we focus on leadership formation that integrates spiritual depth, ethical clarity, and practical effectiveness. Our training initiatives are designed to support leaders as they grow in character, develop competence, and learn to lead responsibly within their communities and organizations.

Our approach to leadership training is grounded in original research and informed by relevant scholarship in leadership, theology, and the social sciences.

We bring research and practice into conversation, ensuring that learning is both thoughtful and applicable.

We equip leaders through peer learning, facilitated seminars, workshops, and leadership training programs. Our work includes:

  • leadership seminars and learning cohorts that emphasize dialogue and shared reflection
  • peer-learning environments that foster mutual learning and accountability
  • courses that integrate leadership, spirituality, and ethical discernment
  • customized training experiences shaped around the needs of organizations and leadership groups

Our training philosophy is rooted in respect for the learner. We attend carefully to experience, context, and learning styles, emphasizing facilitated learning rather than instruction alone. We create spaces for reflection, conversation, and growth, where leaders learn not only from teachers but also from one another.
