Our exciting news this month is the IOC launch of a research consortium focused on human-centered leadership and coaching. With IOC benefactor AceUp as the founding consortium member, the human-centered leadership consortium will bring together expert researchers, scholars, thought-leaders, and coaches to define, measure, and implement human-centered leadership – the science-based components that together generate human empowerment, growth, thriving, and sustainability. Human-centered leadership and coaching will help define excellence in the new world of work.

As the founding consortium member, AceUp is dedicated and committed to developing solutions to help drive a more human-centered organization through transformational leadership coaching. We are grateful to AceUp for co-founding the consortium and for their generous donation that changes leadership for the good. The IOC is establishing a consortium of organizations that share this commitment – please send your ideas and suggestions for research consortium members.

The research program is divided into two phases. The first phase over twelve months will create an evidence-based definition of human-centered leadership as well as investigate how coaching enables human-centered leadership. The second phase, spanning two to four years, will measure and operationalize human-centered leadership at the individual, dyad, team, and organization levels.

This endeavor will leverage, not only the scientific literature and scholars, but also the global experience of leadership coaches who apply the principles of self-determination, positive psychology, work well-being, and eco-system research in organizations.
