Partnerships
One of the Global Leadership Institute core values is to educate publicly oriented world class leaders who work for the benefit of their fellow citizens. Many of the Institute’s academic staff have other strong research partnerships, memberships and networks which will be utilised to continue building our research and scholarship capacity. With a persistent focus on cultivating robust relationships with industries, government entities, non-profits, schools, and the wider community, the Institute is dedicated to building impactful partnerships. Our staff and students contribute to societal advancement through collaborative initiatives with diverse organisations in Australia and beyond. This commitment underscores our dedication to creating a lasting positive impact that transcends traditional educational boundaries.
Global Leadership Institute is a member of Higher Education Private Providers Quality Network (HEPP-QN) which is a collaborative initiative within the Australian higher education sector focused on improving the quality of private providers. Professor Jane Fernandez, Founding Director of HEPP-QN and Provost of Excelsia University states: “My motivation is the future of young people who are entrusted in our care. The outcomes that we want to achieve, as leaders, cannot be done alone”. She values the leadership philosophy “rise by lifting others”. This philosophy is also reflected in the HEPP-QN’s motto ‘Achieving Together’.
Global Leadership Institute funds staff and students to attend HEPP-QN conferences and undertake collaborative research. For example, Global Leadership Institute’s Deputy Chair of Academic Board, Professor Denise Austin, co-authored :
Fernandez, J., Austin, D. A., Spence, S., Coughlan, T., Rose, R., Lichtwark, I., & Hodson, C. (2024).
