The Fuqua/Coach K Center on Leadership & Ethics (COLE) will convene and host a research conference, New Directions in Leadership Research. The focus of this academic conference will be on interesting, novel, and generative research on leadership. More than 20 researchers will convene at Duke University's Fuqua School of Business to present and discuss new directions in leadership research.

Conference Program
The conference will begin on Saturday morning, May 31, and end with an informal lunch at noon on Sunday, June 1. The conference format will include six 1½ hour sessions, with approximately three papers per session to allow ample time for discussion; there will not be any concurrent sessions so that conference participants can hear all presented work. All presentations will take place at Duke University's Fuqua School of Business.

Webcast Partnership
COLE is offering select schools, including those of conference attendees, the opportunity to receive a web-cast of the research conference. To encourage greater participation during this initial year of the conference, support has been made available to enable us to offer access to this web-cast for the rate of $100 per school. This fee allows the school to provide access to any of its interested students and faculty.
