Active Projects
Space Exploration Teams
As we set our sights on Mars, and other destinations beyond lower Earth orbit, we must enable extreme forms of teamwork across Spaceflight Multiteam Systems composed of teams that are separated by unprecedented degrees of space and time.
Leadership and the Future of Work
The rise of technology in our day-to-day work lives and the question of remote work is changing the nature of teams and how we lead them. How do we lead these new and modified forms of organizing?
Leading Human-AI Teams
How can we successfully lead and incorporate the collaboration of an “AI teammate” in an otherwise all human team?
Renaissance Leadership
Discovering the visionary leaders who ignited the Italian Renaissance, this historiometric research program blends the insights of historians with modern leadership theories. It delves into the secrets behind one of the most enduring and transformative periods of social change in human history.
