We Build Teams People Are Proud to Belong to
LeadersAtlas was born in 2018 out of a shared vision by founders Abe Sorock and Andrew Shirman.
As former Curators for the Global Shapers, a global leadership network associated with the World Economic Forum in Beijing, they developed a unique methodology for skill sharing and community building. Their mission became to help responsible leaders succeed by helping them highlight and spread their teams' unique knowledge and skillset.
From an initial team of 4-5 members, LeadersAtlas has grown to work with several companies and dozens of teams to cultivate asabiyyah—the sense of social solidarity and unity—through our Mosaic Program. Today, LeadersAtlas, with a global team of 17 passionate individuals, continues to empower leaders and cultivate teams worldwide.

At LeadersAtlas, we turn to timeless wisdom to forge the leaders of tomorrow. We are guided by three fundamental concepts—Asabiyyah, the Wang, and Seasons.Asabiyyah, an Arabic term, signifies social solidarity with an emphasis on unity, group consciousness and a sense of shared purpose. This underpins our work in fostering cohesive, synergistic teams.The Wang is a concept borrowed from ancient Chinese philosophy, representing a dynamic balance between four key aspects of leadership—Action, Ideas, Relationships, and Operations. We leverage this concept to help leaders achieve equilibrium and harmony in their roles.Seasons of Leadership remind us that, like the natural world, leadership also goes through different phases, each requiring a unique set of skills and approach. We use this concept to help leaders navigate the ever-changing business landscape.
These principles not only shape the design and implementation of our programs, but also guide our recommendations and feedback, setting us apart in the leadership consulting space.
