BUILDING TRUST WORKS

Synergos is a global organization that has pioneered the use of bridging leadership, which builds trust and collaboration to solve complex problems.

We have used this inclusive approach with partners around the world for 35 years to achieve extraordinary results meeting local and national needs.

Today, we help dismantle systems that create the most urgent problems of our time: poverty, social injustice, and climate change.

The Synergos Approach

We cultivate bridging leadership: the ability to build trust and collective action.

Bridging leadership is a style of leadership practiced by both individuals and organizations that enables diverse stakeholders to address systemic challenges together. Bridging Leadership requires inner work to increase self-awareness, skills for social issue analysis such as systems thinking, and a high capacity for collaboration.
