Developing Leaders at All levels

Built with research on the leadership gap from McKinsey & Company’s Chicago Community Consulting Team, as well as financial support from the National Football League, TLI’s programming will help leaders at all levels make an impact at their organizations, in their communities, and in the world at large. With content and curriculum led by Head of TLI Colleen Reaney and facilitated by Tillman Scholars, the institute will offer cohort-based programs to three audiences:
- high potential early to mid-career professionals
- executive leadership
- and student athletes.
