Center for Creative Leadership

"The inspiration for the Center for Creative Leadership (CCL®) came from the visionary and highly successful businessman H. Smith Richardson, Sr. In the years after Richardson had built the Vick Chemical Co. from a one-drugstore operation into a major international corporation, his thoughts turned to questions of leadership: how can businesses remain vital and continue to provide useful, innovative products and services through economic ups and downs, in the face of changes in the marketplace, and in spite of the inevitable succession of management groups?...

"His dream of an independent institution devoted to the concept of creative leadership was realized with the founding of the Center for Creative Leadership in 1970. The Smith Richardson Foundation Inc. provided the initial financial underpinning for CCL. The Foundation — and several generations of the Richardson family — have remained generous supporters of CCL's work"
