Leadership Development Research Centre
The mission of the Leadership Development Research Centre (GLEAD) is to help individuals, teams, and organizations inspire better, more compassionate, and more fulfilling lives that foster personal and social development and enhance the sustainability of human organizations.
Leadership Development Research Centre
Our mission and research agenda are centred on a belief that leadership is most effective when leaders:
- Learn how to manage themselves effectively by increasing self-awareness, managing their emotions, and keeping stress under control. Building a sense of authenticity and passion is the cornerstone of inspiring others along the way.
- Build positive relationships and trust around them.
- Manage diversity and promote inclusive workplaces that help their employees reach their full potential.
- Identify and adapt to the new requirements their social realities bring along.
