The Research Project

How Do Leaders Navigate Complexity?

The project examines how leaders navigate the complex and often competing demands of their roles. From poverty to climate change, organisations operate in environments characterized by uncertainty, conflicting priorities, and constant change.

 

As part of the project, we have developed and are evaluating a leadership training informed by research in psychology, leadership, and organizational behavior.

DATA PRIVACY

Protecting participants' privacy is a core priority of this project. All survey responses are treated as strictly confidential and are processed in accordance with applicable data protection regulations.

EVIDENCE-BASED IMPACT

The findings will contribute to evidence-based leadership development for organizations working to address complex societal challenges.

WHAT PARTICIPATION INVOLVES

Participants will take part in the leadership training and complete a series of online surveys before, and after the program, as well as follow-up surveys several months later. Participating leaders will also be asked to invite a small number of employees who work closely with them to provide confidential feedback through brief online surveys.
