About Me

I am on a mission to build 1,000,000 leaders who elevate others.

and to create healthier workplaces by investing in the operational leaders who shape them every day.

My approach

After nearly a decade in operational leadership, leading complex healthcare programs and teams of over 120 professionals, I’ve seen firsthand how unprepared many new and mid-level managers feel when they step into leadership.

Research consistently shows that roughly 60% of new managers receive little to no formal training when they transition into leadership roles. Yet they are immediately expected to drive performance, manage people, navigate conflict, and deliver results.

That gap is costly for individuals and for organizations.

That’s why I built this platform.

My approach bridges the gap between knowledge and execution.

I design experiential, cohort-based programs where leaders:

Practice real conversations
Apply frameworks to real workplace challenges
Develop emotional intelligence and coaching capability
Build habits that translate into measurable performance

By combining structured curriculum, real-world case studies, and live cohort engagement, I help operational leaders strengthen the human skills that drive retention, engagement, and performance.

Our core values

Committed to your success.

Our mission is guided by three core values that drive everything we do.

People First

We develop leaders who build trust, strengthen engagement, and create environments where people and performance thrive.

Continuous Improvement

We treat leadership as a discipline and we hold ourselves to the same standard. We are committed to ongoing learning, reflection, and measurable growth in the leaders we develop and in our own work.

Generosity

We believe leadership development should be accessible. That’s why we provide the majority of our foundational, asynchronous education at no cost — democratizing access while partnering with organizations for deeper, applied transformation.

About me!

Lilian T Mubangizi

Leadership Educator

I founded The Future of Leadership Inc. after nearly a decade leading complex healthcare programs and large, multidisciplinary teams across North America and Africa.

I hold a Master of Public Health in Epidemiology, and I am a Certified Leadership & Performance Coach with experience across research and operations.

Throughout my leadership journey, I saw a consistent challenge: high-performing professionals are promoted into management roles with significant responsibility but limited preparation for leading people.

The Future of Leadership exists to close that gap.

We partner with organizations to equip operational leaders with practical coaching and emotional intelligence skills that improve accountability, engagement, and team performance.

I understand the realities of scale, workforce complexity, and frontline execution, and I bring that lived experience into every program we design.
I spend much of my free time advancing equal access to leadership education in underprivileged communities.
