David Rockefeller
Bridging Leadership Award

Bridging leadership represents a paradigm shift in our approach to leadership: a movement away from less-inclusive forms of decision-making that have dominated much of human history.

In our increasingly interconnected world, this form of leadership is essential for creating the collaboration needed to solve local, national and global challenges. 

The Bridging Leadership Award was first presented in 2003 to David Rockefeller, for whom it is now named.  This year, we gethered online to recognize three leaders who exemplify this inclusive approach to solving complex problems:

CHRISTIANA FIGUERES

EDDIE NDOPU

MARC BENIOFF

We heard ideas and inspiration on how to address critical challenges around the world. And we explored how we can each grow as bridging leaders – bringing people together to build a more peaceful, equitable, and  regenerative world.
