Sanger Research Lab
Overview
Welcome to the home of the boldest ideas in leadership research! From the classic Michigan studies in the 1950s, to the continued global preeminence of our faculty today, we are leading the way for the latest trends in leadership research. Our faculty deeply care about the dissemination of bold ideas and are actively involved in designing and delivering leadership development experiences at Ross and in companies around the world.

About the Lab
The Sanger Research Lab was launched to accelerate the creation and dissemination of cutting-edge leadership research. To support the development of leadership scholarship, the lab provides an inclusive community for scholars from across the university (representing fields from medicine, psychology, marketing, management, and more) to share and receive feedback on early-stage research. The lab also offers research support, such as research assistantship and research fellowships, to faculty and PhD students.
To support the dissemination of leadership research, our faculty work closely with the Sanger team to ensure all of our programs, communities, and events are building on the best and most recent evidence-basis within scholarly communities. Sanger also works with our faculty to disseminate research ideas on social media, in blogs, and within speaker events (such as the Leadership Dialogues series).
Members of our lab love to connect with others and do so in many ways, including welcoming in new PhD students, postdocs, and faculty from across campus, sponsoring speaker events and conferences, and connecting our faculty with students, alumni, and companies (for research, workshops, coaching, etc.). If you’d like to get involved, please don’t hesitate to reach out!

Community Inside and Out: Moving Community Front and Center in Management Research
As societal loneliness reaches epidemic levels, community is gaining traction as a potential remedy—yet organizational research has lacked clarity and consensus on what community truly means. This integrative review of 839 articles reveals that community has been used to describe a range of micro- and macro-level phenomena, often without cohesion. The authors offer a unifying definition of community and identify shared characteristics, methods of cultivation, and outcomes. They call for research that connects internal and external organizational communities, offering a roadmap for placing community at the center of management scholarship.

A Stakeholder Perspective on Diversity Within Organizations
Diversity outcomes in organizations are shaped not just internally, but also by a web of external influences. This integrative review identifies four key stakeholder groups—organizational actors, resource exchange partners, institutional actors, and societal forces—and maps how they impact diversity efforts across organizational levels. By unpacking the mechanisms of influence across these groups, the article offers a roadmap for future research and highlights the importance of considering intersecting stakeholder dynamics when addressing diversity issues.

Examples of Current Research Collaborations
Paths to Leadership
Many in our laboratory are interested in who steps into, and who is granted, leadership positions. Ongoing research projects exist about who identifies as a leader, and how companies can encourage more people (including from diverse backgrounds) to self-identify as leaders and step into leadership positions. Research is also ongoing about who is granted leadership roles in organizations and how best to identify leaders in ways that are least biased.
Faculty and PhD students: Susan Ashford, Charlie Case, Julia Lee-Cunningham
Leader Communication
There are also ongoing projects about how a leader’s communication can optimize their team’s organizational performance. This ranges from the words leaders use in mass communications to the dynamics of information flow within team meetings. Being able to inspire hearts and minds in order to steer a team and organization to goal achievement is a key skill!
Faculty and PhD students: Derek Harmon, Julia Lee-Cunningham, Elizabeth Trinh
How Leaders Navigate Emotions at Work
Many lab members are also interested in how leaders navigate emotions at work, including how leaders recognize and respond to the emotions of others. Seeing the full human being of others is critical in order to help support and mobilize groups toward goal achievement.
Faculty and PhD students: Christina Bradley, Lindy Greer, Jeffrey Sanchez-Burks, Derek Harmon, Elizabeth Trinh
Leading Diverse and Inclusive Teams and Organizations
Leading diverse and inclusive teams and organizations is a critical skill set. Our lab has several active projects on this topic, including one on the well-meaning steps leaders can take toward inclusion—which at times can backfire, as well as one on the criticality of diversity in powerful teams like boards.
