Lead Yourself. Lead with Others. Change the World.

MIT leaders don’t follow people, they follow problems—big, tricky, complex problems that have the potential to make lasting impact in the world. MIT Leadership Center faculty members and researchers are the same. They apply academic rigor to big real-world concerns, helping industry, governments, and organizations solve problems and seize new opportunities. Armed with the latest science, they also educate our students, helping them develop as the next generation of MIT leaders.
