This session is open to all members, including students
In today's interconnected world, the ability to build and leverage professional networks can significantly enhance leadership capabilities, drive organizational success, and foster personal growth. Unfortunately, development efforts traditionally have focused overwhelmingly on improving leaders' human capital (i.e., their knowledge, skills, and abilities), paying insufficient attention to leaders’ ability to build and use their social capital (i.e., the goodwill and resources available through their network connections). This 60-minute session will introduce attendees to a simple and impactful way to incorporate network science into leadership development and coaching using the Leader Network Diagnostic (LND). The LND is an innovative, research-based tool designed to help leaders assess and enhance the openness, diversity, and depth of their networks and the resources their network connections provide. We will share how two Global 500 companies have successfully integrated the LND into their leadership development initiatives, resulting in improvements in leaders' networks over time, which have helped leaders span organizational silos to create integrated solutions, prepare to transition to senior roles, and have informed return-to-office policies that promote network development in a world of increasingly hybrid work. If you would like to experience taking the Leader Network Diagnostic yourself, you can complete it using this link. Please note that to receive your response, we ask that you sign up for a debrief session with my Network Leader colleague Tim Davission (tim@networkleader.com). Kristin Cullen-Lester is the School of Business Fellow and Associate Professor of Management at the University of Mississippi. She co-founded Network Leader, a startup making the complex world of network research and analysis easy for anyone to apply. Kristin earned her Ph.D. in industrial-organizational psychology from Auburn University and previously worked as a senior research scientist at the Center for Creative Leadership. Her research examines the impact of professional networks on workplace effectiveness, leadership, career success, well-being, and large-scale strategic change. This research has been funded by funding agencies, including the National Science Foundation, and published in top academic journals. Kristin has won numerous awards, including the Award for Distinguished Early Career Contributions to Practice from the Society for Industrial and Organizational Psychology and the Mid-Career Standout Scholar Award from the Academy of Management's Network of Leadership Scholars.
