The Lab Leadership runs over a period of 10 weeks. The activities in the lab will be structured around the six phases of a research activity: (1) analysis of organizational context and leadership issue, (2) applicable theoretical perspective, (3) choice of method and research activity, (4) analysis of results, (5) presentation of conclusions and (6) actionable recommendations. The final product will be a written research and advisory report, which will be delivered to the client and will describe each stage of the research cycle in a concise and complete manner with a focus on actionable recommendations and with respect for the privacy of the individuals involved. The focus in the lab will be on the behavior of first line managers and the responses of their followers, according to one or two of the themes of leadership.
