Bridging leadership requires the courage to stand for our values even when challenged.

The courage to reach across divides and acknowledge our own vulnerabilities. To move beyond fear and work with others to build trust. It is the type of leadership that’s led to remarkable results in Synergos programs around the world for almost 40 years. And it is exactly the type of leadership we need now more than ever.

As part of the 2025 David Rockefeller Bridging Leadership Awards, we asked members of Synergos' global network the question "What does courage mean to you?" Listen to their responses and share your own in the comments.
