The purpose of our project is to increase positive leadership throughout the world and to advance our scientific understanding of positive leadership and its development. We do this by: 1. promoting interdisciplinary research on positive leadership; 2. becoming a hub of instructional tools, developed or identified by the Center, that can be used to increase positive leadership; 3. supporting others on campus who deliver classes or programs related to positive leadership, including the College of Business’ Corporate and Executive Education and its delivery of professional development to external organizations; 4. elevating the internal culture and external image of the University of Louisville by aligning the work of the center with the Cardinal Principals; and 5. ensuring that the University of Louisville is known for positive leadership around the world.
