Leadership Research
In 2009, Snyder embarked on a program of leadership research, first as an Executive-In-Residence at the University of Minnesota’s Center for Integrative Leadership, and then as an Executive Fellow in Leadership at the Opus College of Business at the University of St. Thomas in Minneapolis. The research culminated in the book, Leadership and the Art of Struggle (Berrett-Koehler, 2013). Snyder studied 151 episodes of leadership struggle, and synthesized a set of practices by which leaders can more effectively navigate through challenge and adversity.

Famous quotes containing the words leadership and/or research:
“The liberal wing of the feminist movement may have improved the lives of its middle- and upper-class constituency—indeed, 1992 was the Year of the White Middle Class Woman—but since the leadership of this faction of the feminist movement has singled out black men as the meta-enemy of women, these women represent one of the most serious threats to black male well-being since the Klan.”
—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
“Men talk, but rarely about anything personal. Recent research on friendship ... has shown that male relationships are based on shared activities: men tend to do things together rather than simply be together.... Female friendships, particularly close friendships, are usually based on self-disclosure, or on talking about intimate aspects of their lives.”
—Bettina Arndt (20th century)
