Research into Practice
Applying research to executive leadership and retention.
A Different Perspective
The ideas explored on this website are grounded in executive experience and informed by research.
My doctoral research examined one of the least understood questions in executive leadership:
Why do highly mobile senior executives choose to stay with an organization?
Combining executive experience with a mixed-method doctoral study conducted across 38 countries, the research challenges many traditional assumptions about executive retention and provides practical implications for leaders and organizations.
