From Jean-Pierre Bal, the school's founder

Our School's programmes point towards the future. Our courses are the tangible and present-day result of foreseeing, as early as the 1980s, the growing leadership needs worldwide, the ones that emerged in our fast-paced society, in our 21st century in general. The school has the courage of challenging society, by means of the vision it has of the world - two, three, even four decades from now. Vision is part of our role in grooming the present and future generations of leaders faced with hard realities, tough times, increasing responsibilities, and inescapable challenges in their communities. 

We strongly believe that many leaders are made, not born. One grows to become a leader, for instance by the mastery of self,  by the development of strategic vision, and of course by experience. With the individualised mentoring approach we strive towards an ideal, the 1-to-1student-to-faculty ratio, thus ensuring that each participant succeeds in adopting a soulful leadership style, including a strong leader-purpose, deep personal values, openness to change, and experience building and sharing. Identical aims are pursued by the new and next of kin institution in France.

If one were to describe a leader's career as a work of art, then the  completion of a THIERRY programme constitutes one of the pillars or arches of the archway which a leader shapes by his(her) lifetime actions or achievements. Leaders contribute to the building of personal, organisational, and societal archways; they provide support, guidance, or  assistance to individuals who shape their own pillars, arches, and archways of life.
