About CLS
As the main European window onto leadership studies, development and practice, we aim to offer first-class leadership development, educate the next generation of leadership developers and assess the value and underlying assumptions of this field in general.
Here at the Centre for Leadership Studies we look at leadership, where it occurs and where it is missing, where it comes from and where it is going. We study leaders, and we also study the claims made about them - we get leadership into perspective. This has been our mission since 1997, and as an integral part of the University of Exeter we continue to be at the leading edge of contemporary research and teaching.
