About Masters Series for Distinguished Leaders

MASTERS SERIES FOR DISTINGUISHED LEADERS (MSDL) is a unique program of Skinner Leadership Institute (SLI). It is a one-of-a-kind culturally sensitive, global leadership excellence experience, producing high character, difference makers, social innovators, quality decision makers and community builders.  

​

MSDL is built on a philosophy of PROMISE DRIVEN LEADERSHIP. MSDL Fellows move from PURPOSE, or the work a leader is called to do, to PROMISE, or the difference a leader is called to make to improve the human condition. Promise Driven Leaders are always “other-centered,” making others around them better. They model seven (7) character traits. They are Committed to something bigger than themselves; Considerate of others; Connected to others; Compassionate toward others; Confident in their cause; Conscientious with excellence as their brand, and Complementary in always showing kindness toward others.
