"Our Center is committed to producing top-quality leadership programs and training, while also advancing new research. This accolade is a testament to our continuous effort to provide leaders with the tools they need to succeed and bring their organizations to the next stage of their evolution."
Founded in 2005, the Center for Leadership at the Chapman Graduate School of Business at FIU is known for its leadership research, development, and training. Providing leaders with the competencies that will positively transform their organizations and the society they impact, the Center's mission encompasses cutting-edge research in the area of leadership development, delivering innovative leadership programs and strengthening the leadership understanding of the community-at-large through workshops, seminars and events.
In its relatively short life span and under the leadership of Dr. Maidique for the past three years, the Center's leadership development programs have already amassed an impressive group of alumni that includes organizational leaders from industries such as health care, banking and finance, technology, retail, education, government, and the military, and with participants from across the United States, Latin America, the Caribbean, Canada, Europe, and Africa.
