Our Approach


The Synergos approach is to cultivate bridging leadership: the ability to build trust and collective action.

Bridging Leadership is a leadership practice used by both individuals and organizations that is effective for building trust and collaboration among diverse stakeholders to address systemic challenges.

Bridging Leadership requires inner work to increase self-awareness, skills for social issue analysis such as systems thinking, and a high capacity for collaboration.
