I am GEORGE VAN (PhD, Cambridge) and I share my mindset, insights and outlook as The PRESITENT – The Present, Positive, Persistent Leader. Through my academic research, executive training and business practice, I sit down with the next generation of world leaders, captains of industry and top athletes to redefine leadership. Together we create leaders who transform our lives and businesses for the better.

We don’t have a crisis of leadership. We have a crisis of leaders. True leaders don’t create followers. True leaders create leaders. They inspire people. They instill purpose. They install process. True leaders know that position, power and prestige are nothing but manifestations of leadership. True leaders know that people, purpose and process are the underlying sources of leadership. The difference between true leaders and those who are not lies in that true leaders are PRESITENT: PRESENT through PEOPLE. POSITIVE through PURPOSE. PERSISTENT through PROCESS.

We don’t make leaders. We don’t teach leadership. We believe you can only do it yourself. Some leaders are born. Other leaders are made. True leaders are PRESITENT.
