Study with us in the Birmingham Leadership Institute

Leadership research and reflection-on-practice

Intersecting research and practice is a distinguishing feature of the Birmingham Leadership Institute. We consider insights from primary academic research and reflection-on-practice as complimentary ways of deepening our understanding about the practice of leadership. As we develop our research programme, we are particularly keen to explore:

  • What makes for effective leadership development for leadership in complex contexts
  • What distinguishes leadership that is collaborative, inclusive and responsible and how to nurture and develop it
  • Interdisciplinary research projects drawing together colleagues from multiple disciplines within the University of Birmingham and practitioners from the public, private and third sectors
