Welcome to THE library of leadership development initiatives.

You will find here access to the desk research work and survey carried out by the SWinG partnership. The information introduced here were collated during the first 6 months of the project and form an offical part of SWinG Intellectual Output 2.

The SWinG Library of leadership development initiatives is opened to new initiatives -should you want to share one, please get in touch with us.

Who’s behind the Library?

The current Library has been developed by the SWinG partnership through the leadership of Marion Duc Mouton and Cécile Bernheim from PWN Paris, and under the supervision of the applicant FFSE, the SWinG project leader Carole Ponchon.

How did we identified these leadership development initiatives?

In March 2019, a research protocol was developed including a framework for data collection. Case studies were then collected from April to July 2019. In particular a series of interviews were conducted from May to June 2019. Around thirty stakeholders were interviewed from international companies (fourteen) to European sport associations (thirteen) and business associations (four).

Please note that this online version of the Library is currently under construction.

To facilitate your navigation, the SWinG partnership has sorted all the leadership development initiatives gathered based on the sector they are coming from.
