Mission Statement

The Doctoral Program in Leadership at Gonzaga University is premised on the belief that leadership is based on a deep understanding of the self and of the core values that drive one's actions. Thus effective leadership requires the development of a compelling personal vision that engages others by offering meaning, dignity, and purpose. The ultimate aim of leadership is the building of more humane relationships, organizations, and societies. Effective leaders need to develop the critical imagination required to embrace individual, organizational, and global change from a stance of hope and courage. [ Link to the rest of the Mission Statement]

Conceptual Framework

The Doctoral Program centers on three dimensions of leadership: (a) the leader as person, (b) the leader in organizational systems, and (c) the leader in global systems. Principles of research designed to honor humanity are threaded throughout the program and provide doctoral students a structured way of thinking and coming to understand leadership from personal, organizational, and global systems perspectives.
