Focused research studies to generate new insights into talent and market issues
Even though extensive research has brought about greater understanding of Latinos as a consumer group, minimal attention has been given to the area of talent management. The Leadership Lab is meeting this need through new and relevant insights on key issues surrounding Latinos in the workforce.
The SMU Cox Leadership Lab engages in cutting-edge research that provides insights into the fast growing and mission critical talent pool of diverse leaders. Dr. Jose Antonio Bowen serves as the Academic Director for the Leadership Lab and leads its Research Agenda, together with TLL Scientific Board, comprised of leading research faculty from around the country.
