Who We Are

The Global Leadership Centres Roundtable (GLCR) was founded in 2018 as an international network of university-based leadership centres. The founding members are:

• Bauer Leadership Center – Olin Business School, St Louis
• Center for Leadership and Behavior in Organizations (CLBO) – Goethe University Frankfurt
• King Frederik Center for Public Leadership – Aarhus University
• In the Lead – University of Groningen
• Leiden Leadership Centre – University of Leiden

The purpose of the roundtable is to facilitate and support each centre to deliver on their ambitions with respect to leadership research, education and partnering with practice for the benefit of the common good. It aims to foster the exchange of ideas, experiences and results in the area of leadership. This encompasses academic research, education and practice. We do this in the spirit of trust, openness and confidentiality, knowing that ideas and results shared, will not be plagiarized or commercialized by other members.

Our Mission

• To support the member centres’ dissemination of evidence-based leadership knowledge and practices.
