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:
“Nature, we are starting to realize, is every bit as important as nurture. Genetic influences, brain chemistry, and neurological development contribute strongly to who we are as children and what we become as adults. For example, tendencies to excessive worrying or timidity, leadership qualities, risk taking, obedience to authority, all appear to have a constitutional aspect.”
—Stanley Turecki (20th century)
“The research on gender and morality shows that women and men looked at the world through very different moral frameworks. Men tend to think in terms of “justice” or absolute “right and wrong,” while women define morality through the filter of how relationships will be affected. Given these basic differences, why would men and women suddenly agree about disciplining children?”
—Ron Taffel (20th century)
