Leader's Brain Trust

Leader's Brain Trust is a newly established association co-founded by Mary Senkowska to investigate and advance adaptive leadership capacity among Polish organizational leaders. The initiative represents a strategic effort to create evidence-based insights into how executive boards, management teams, and CEOs are currently responding to organizational change.

Research Focus & Structure

The association's inaugural research program surveys three distinct leadership clusters:

  • Supervisory boards (Rady Nadzorcze) — active members, chairs, and board consultants
  • Executive boards/Management teams (Zarządy) — active members or C-suite participants in board governance
  • CEOs — individuals holding chief executive positions

Research Objectives

  1. Map the landscape of Polish leaders' adaptive readiness across organizational contexts
  2. Identify patterns in how different governance levels perceive organizational change capacity
  3. Generate comparative insights by analyzing paired perspectives from the same organization (e.g., CEO + board member viewpoints on the same challenges)
  4. Create space for genuine dialogue among Poland's leadership community about future readiness
