Leader-to-Leader Institute (formerly The Drucker Foundation) - The Leader-to-Leader Institute believes that a healthy society requires three vital sectors: a public sector of effective governments; a private sector of effective businesses; and a social sector of effective community organizations. The mission of the social sector is changing lives and providing a significant sphere for individuals and corporations to practice effective and responsible citizenship. As a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, the Institute's offerings include leadership tools and support for the social sector.
