Our world is facing both rapid and complex changes. Organizations and religious congregations must transform to meet the challenges. Today, we need leaders who can instill trust, inculcate values and inspire hope.

The Xavier Institute of Leadership (XIL) was started on July 1st, 1999, at St. Xavier’s High School to conduct Leadership Seminars both in India and abroad for educators, businessmen, professionals, pastors, lay leaders, religious superiors and heads of organizations.

These seminars were conducted earlier by Fr. Anthony A. D’Souza under the auspices of the Xavier Institute of Management (XIM) and the Bombay St. Xavier’s College Society. Each Seminar is customized and tailored to meet the needs of the participants.
