In 2010, a coalition of nearly 40 CEOs and institutional leaders, all from small cities and rural areas in West Michigan, joined forces around a regional talent-development effort called Talent2025.

Executive Fellows Kate Isaacs and David Brodwin explore the impact of place-based business coalitions in this Harvard Business Review article. The article sheds light on what makes regional coalitions successful, and advises leaders to:

  • Design a culture of inclusive and generous leadership.
