In Residence

Bridging the gap between knowledge and practice.

Leadership does not occur in a vacuum. From the on-the-ground experience of seasoned executives to the innovative, proven theories from scholars, today’s leaders have many places from which to learn and draw inspiration. The Tobias Leadership Center joins all these resources together to share the latest, innovative research with leaders and to bridge the gap between knowledge and practice in a way that enrichens everyone we reach. We advance the mission through two critical programs: Executive in Residence and Scholar in Residence.

Executive in Residence

The Executive in Residence (EIR) is a practicing executive who works with the Tobias Leadership Center on the practical applications of leadership studies. The EIR works with current and former Tobias Fellows, students, faculty, and the Tobias Leadership Center to provide business insights and hands on support for leadership programs.

Executive in Residence

"I’m excited to step into the Executive in Residence role and help create an initiative that brings accomplished executives together for real, hands-on learning inside leading organizations across sectors. This will be a rare chance for leaders to go beyond the work of their organizations and experience firsthand the challenges and insights that drive growth."

Scholar in Residence

The Scholar in Residence (SIR) helps the Tobias Leadership Center bridge the gap between knowledge and practice. An academic involved in the latest leadership research, the SIR works with students, faculty and the Tobias Leadership Center to ensure our programs and executive network are informed by the best scholarly insights available.
