About Our Research

Leadership Research & Analytics

We have been conducting original scientific research in the field of leadership development for 50 years. The result? One of the largest leadership research databases in the world and a rich body of evidence-based science used to accelerate leadership performance.

This big-picture, original thinking directly shapes both applied best practices for today’s leadership needs and anticipates and explores theories and practice for the next generation.

Our multi-disciplinary team includes a variety of social scientists, data scientists, statisticians, and product innovators. The team applies the latest scientific methodologies and analytic techniques to produce academic publications, new products and services, thought leadership, and evaluation methodologies for measuring the impact of leadership development.

Recent work in neuroscience, equity, diversity and inclusion, and data science has created new knowledge and interventions in research fields like resilience, social identity, and 21st century leadership challenges. To learn more about the work of our Leadership Research and Analytics team, visit cclinnovation.org.
