ABOUT

Institute of Behavioral Strategy and Leadership

IBSLeadership Institute (IBSL) equips leaders with the behavioral and strategic tools to lead intentionally. We combine applied strategy, human-centred insight, and execution discipline to help organisations deliver sustainable, measurable results — regionally rooted and globally relevant.

Our Vision

To be Africa’s most trusted source for behaviourally intelligent strategy leadership — transforming how executives think, decide, and lead for enduring impact.

Our Mission

To build a network of strategically grounded and emotionally intelligent leaders who align purpose, people, and performance to drive intentional organizational growth and societal progress.

Our Purpose

We train leaders to integrate human behavior into the strategy management process — aligning design, execution, and accountability systems to achieve sustainable performance.

From the Founders

When we founded IBSLeadership Institute, we set out to do more than teach strategy — we wanted to change how leaders think about people, decisions, and results. Today’s organisations need leaders who combine strategic clarity with emotional intelligence: people who can design systems that mobilise talent, hold teams accountable, and sustain performance over time.

IBSL is a next-generation institute built for that moment. We partner with executives, boards, universities, and public institutions to translate behavioural insight into practical leadership systems — not theory for theory’s sake, but tools you can use tomorrow to deliver measurable impact.
