Research into Practice

Applying research to executive leadership and retention.

A Different Perspective

Every idea in this website is grounded in experience, but also tested through research.

Combining executive experience with a mixed-method doctoral study conducted across 38 countries, the research challenges many traditions assumptions about executive retention and provides practical implications for leaders and organizations.
