| ABOUT THE CENTER FOR INTEGRATIVE LEADERSHIP
In the twenty-first century, a new vision of leadership is needed more than ever. Leaders must integrate knowledge and talent from individuals in the private, not-for-profit, and government sectors to advance the common good.
The Center for Integrative Leadership is dedicated to examining and advancing a new vision for cross-sector leadership so that it can be understood, taught, and deployed to help solve some of the most challenging issues of our time.
To accomplish this, the center convenes thought leaders and practitioners from diverse disciplines to consider and propose new models and methods for dealing with such complex issues as world hunger, global warming, health care, free trade, disease prevention, equitable distribution of wealth, and international terrorism.
Integrative leadership identifies the common ground between sectors and leverages their unique influence and resources to better move organizations, communities, and society forward in times of increased interconnection and rapid change. The center works to support multidisciplinary leadership research, formal classroom instruction, public education, and leadership development within the University and the community at large. It is the only one of its kind in the world dedicated to the study, teaching, and deployment of integrative leadership.
The Center for Integrative Leadership is a University-wide initiative located at the University of Minnesota. Its oversight is shared by the Carlson School of Management and the Hubert H. Humphrey Institute of Public Affairs. |
