"For over three years, Bruce has challenged me to think differently about how I see the world, and to conduct research that is meaningful and could make a difference in individual’s lives. I knew that I wanted to pursue a PhD because I wanted to teach at the collegiate level, but after my experience in GLI, it is more than that – it is the opportunity to use science to develop leaders – something that is still in short supply."

"GLI is the leader within field of leadership studies and research. Bold statement, I know. A leader is interpreted here however, as an organization that sets direction in an effort and influences people, organization or academic thinking to follow that direction. When I think of the ground breaking research that we are currently doing and also the intellectual stimulation I have gain just from my studies in such a short time I am still astonish. As a second year graduate student with little background in leadership and even business this institute has been the sponge in which all my knowledge comes from. The qualified faculty and staff is world renown and their knowledge in the field gives the student a holistic view of leadership. I am honored and excited to be a part of this community."
