As the leadership research and development hub for the field of
public service, the Research Center for Leadership in Action (RCLA)
pioneers new approaches to leadership through strategic partnerships,
practice-grounded research, and customized development programs.
Founded in 2003 at New York University's Robert F. Wagner Graduate
School of Public Service, RCLA's unique approach integrates research
with practice, bridges individual pursuits and collective endeavors,
and connects local efforts with global trends. RCLA's scholars use
innovative social science methodologies to address ambitious questions
that advance big ideas in leadership. Public service leaders rely on
RCLA to create customized leadership development and capacity-building
programs that facilitate critical reflection, peer-to-peer learning,
and transformation at the individual, organizational and systems
levels. Launched with core support from the Ford Foundation, partners
include more than 300 social change organizations, universities and
leadership centers in the United States and abroad, local and state
government leaders, and major foundations and corporations including
the Edna McConnell Clark Foundation, Annie E. Casey Foundation,
Rockefeller Foundation, Open Society Institute, AVINA Foundation, and
Accenture.
