Overview
“The most successful leaders have a vision, an insight about the world around them and the actions that can make that insight real. At the Center we assist others in developing their own unique insights, and in developing the tools they need to inspire others to collaborate with them in realizing their visions. Our research programs develop new knowledge about developing and leading organizations for our changing world, and our community and educational programs help others to succeed in a world that never stands still.”
– Dean's Professor Jone Pearce
“Much of our work in organizations is conducted in teams, yet traditional teams that meet face to face and have consistent membership are nearly extinct. Instead, our experience in teams is now much more fluid, and our work is often dispersed across many locations and organizations. This presents enormous challenges, but also opportunities. We are currently researching these issues at the Center and developing theory, tools and techniques to help improve team effectiveness in complex collaborative endeavors.”
–Dean's Professor Cristina Gibson
In fulfillment of its mission, the Center for Leadership and Team Development will undertake and support research that can will address the practical problems of leadership and teams in an innovation-driven global economy and contribute to socially responsible strategic advancement of the Merage School.
