About Us

Welcome to the Center for Innovative Leadership!

We’re glad that you’ve found your way to us, and hope the resources available here spur your thinking about leadership – whether as a faculty researcher, practicing leader, or student aspiring to their next leadership role.

At CIL we are focused on translating research into practice—illuminating how the latest research findings from scholars in management, organizational science, and other social science disciplines can be distilled and enacted in the daily practices of leaders across industries and around the world. We exist to support and accelerate the production of new research on leadership in today’s dynamic, complex organizations and bring that research to life through engaging student experiences and powerful industry partnerships.

We invite you to explore our website, to learn more about the work of CIL faculty, students, and industry leaders, to challenge your own assumptions about leadership, and to connect with our community of scholars and practitioners aiming to enhance innovative leadership in modern organizations.

By joining our online community, downloading our research-based Field Guides, participating in one of our developmental student experiences, or supporting CIL’s research and programming efforts, you are helping to advance the science and practice of leadership and chart new paths for success in the world of work. We’re glad to have you with us!

Yours in Leadership,

Michael Doyle
Executive Director
