PURPOSE

Good and responsible leadership is key to value creation and prosperity in companies and organizations. And it is crucial for the ability of businesses and the public sector to successfully assume their growing responsibility for responding to societal challenges that face Denmark and the planet as a whole. The CBS Leadership Centre wants to facilitate these advancements in leadership practise, and it is a key component in CBS ambition to take responsibility for societal challenges on both a local and a global scale.

With the CBS Leadership Centre, CBS wants to make CBS the Nordic Centre for leadership knowledge and inspiration by strengthening and mobilizing CBS leadership research, education and outreach.

WHAT WE DO

CBS Leadership Centre is a meeting place for leadership researchers and business professionals in Denmark as well as internationally. We assemble, strengthen and communicate CBS leadership research and we facilitate interaction with practitioners in the private and the public sector – to inspire the transformation that is needed to address important societal agendas of sustainability, digitalization, diversity and much more.

Combining business economics and an understanding of societal dynamics is at the core of CBS, and every day, we educate future and current leaders to set direction and deliver results in cooperation with others. The CBS Leadership Centre draws from this pool of knowledge and interaction. We work cross-disciplinary and bring together capabilities from all levels of our organization.

WHERE YOU’LL MEET US
