A Creative Alliance: Welcome to the Center for Creative Leadership and the Creative Leadership Council!!
As a way to maximize learning opportunities for both Boston University and the Center for Creative Leadership (CCL), we have forged a joint membership plan between EDRT and the Creative Leadership Council (CLC) to enhance both organizations’ membership offerings, and, more importantly, bring a more robust association for our current and future members. We are delighted to announce the establishment of the EDRT & CLC joint membership option!

Welcome to The Executive Development Roundtable!

Founded in 1988 as an institute at the School of Management at Boston University devoted to the study of issues in leadership and executive development, The Executive Development Roundtable (EDRT) recently celebrated its 20th Year Anniversary.

What makes a leader a leader? Can we help leaders improve their skills? Can we identify high potential leaders among our younger staff and help them grow? What traits, issues, worries, experiences and challenges do leaders share? What can a body of academic researchers and real-world practitioners from leading organizations do together to help executives and senior leaders maximize their own and their companies’ potential?

These are the driving questions of EDRT and they continue today.

EDRT operates at the unique intersection of academic research and contemporary real-world business applications. EDRT’s members, who represent leading corporate, public and non-profit institutions, have the strategic advantage of learning from and contributing to the latest applied research on how successful executives drive their organizations and why executive development remains a key competitive advantage in business today.
EDRT provides members with a collegial and open environment where upper-level leadership and executive development professionals can discuss best practice solutions, obtain industry-specific benchmarking tools, and gain the overall professional development they need. EDRT meetings, facilitated by world-class speakers and thought leaders on executive development, include closed-door, roundtable discussions of leaders from a wide cross section of industries, where confidential ideas may be shared, where problem-solving is a group effort, and where the sharing of both familiar and unique organizational challenges help build a deeply rewarding network. EDRT faculty, whose work on leadership and executive development is well known and respected throughout academic and practitioner circles, provide corporate members with the tools of solid quantitative and qualitative research, readily applied. Here, long-term learning communities and rich friendships are built.

We recently celebrated our 20th Anniversary, but the first 20 years are only the beginning. In addition, we are especially proud and excited to announce our alliance with the Center for Creative Leadership for our joint membership option with the Creative Leadership Council, as described in our Highlights. These are exciting times for EDRT! We look forward to working with you to develop the next generation of senior leaders. Thank you for your visit and interest.
