Mission Statement: The Research Center for Leadership in Action serves as the leadership research and development hub for the field of public service. Housed at NYU’s Robert F.

RCLA scholars use innovative research methodologies to advance big ideas in leadership. Public service leaders rely on RCLA for customized leadership development and capacity-building programs that facilitate critical reflection, peer-to-peer learning and transformation at the individual, organizational and systems levels.
