Art & Leadership and CBS Leadership Lab

The need to strengthen research within management and leadership has become apparent - both when it comes to supplementary training and the ordinary degree programmes. Management and leadership are central elements in terms of both research and training at Copenhagen Business School.

Therefore CBS has launched a research unit, which is able to meet the increasing demand and ensure a larger degree of coherence across focus areas.

“Leadership is an essential part of management. Our objective is to strengthen our research and teaching within this field. It is mainly about the more person-focused part of management, which has grown more and more important. It is no longer enough to focus on old-time values such as planning, finance, and marketing. The ability to set the agenda, create understanding, and communicate is becoming more and more important,” says Flemming Poulfelt, who will be in charge of the new centre.

CBS Leadership Lab is a new research initiative physically located on Grundtvigsvej 25, Frederiksberg. Professor Flemming Poulfelt (LPF) is the appointed director. CBS Leadership Lab aims to strengthen leadership research and education at CBS, and will be based on the research currently taking place at CBS. Furthermore CBS Leadership Lab will seek close cooperation with companies and organisations.

Center for Art and Leadership will contribute to the varied activities in Leadership Lab.

Among the participants in the initiative are Professor Ole Fogh Kirkeby, Mette Morsing, Robert D. Austin, Daniel Hjorth, Majken Schultz, Erik Johnsen, and Jan Molin, and Adjunct Professor Claus Valentine, Peter Hanke and Pierre de Guillén Monthoux.
