Macquarie Group: Building Modern Day Leadership through Pro Bono

Building modern Day Leadership Through Pro Bono: A case study on the Macquarie Group's Civic Edge Program

Leadership Development in the Modern Era

Demands on corporate leaders are greater today than ever before. Companies face complex challenges characterized by increasingly collaborative contexts, numerous stakeholders, and thorny decisions. More and more, leadership development professionals at top companies are recognizing the necessity of providing their top talent with innovative, dynamic opportunities for development – particularly those that take place outside of the classroom.

At Taproot Foundation, we know pro bono to be a powerful tool for experiential leadership development. We partner with leading companies to help them integrate pro bono into their talent development strategies. This case explores how, together with Macqua­rie Group Foundation and Macquarie’s Talent Development arm, Taproot worked to create Civic Edge, a program designed to provide participants with the opportunity to develop and demonstrate the competencies necessary for effective leadership today.

Applying Leadership Training through Civic Edge

Through Civic Edge, small teams of Macquarie’s future leaders are paired with nonprofit organizations facing critical challenges. Over the course of many intensive weeks, Macquarie teams work to design solutions that address their nonprofit partners’ needs and build their capacity.
