Center for Conscientious Leadership

The Center for Conscientious Leadership is an organization founded by Chip Adams in 2015. With active participation from many distinguished business, military, clergy, academic, and other leaders, the mission of the Center is to inspire the next generation to commit to a lifelong journey of individual discernment, inspired action, and more powerful leadership of themselves and others.In March of 2017, CCL and Santa Clara University's Leavey School of Business Conscientious Capitalism Initiative launched a dynamic new venture for students to glean lessons about applying "personal virtues and purpose" within leadership roles. The Conscientious Capitalism Initiative consisted of two major components: a 10-week upper-division course for a 21 senior cohort and a Speaker Series, featuring guest lectures from former eBay, Starbucks, and Google Ventures CEOs and even former Navy SEALs.
