The Center for Public Leadership is an academic research center that provides teaching, research and training in the practical skills of leadership for people in government, nonprofits, and business. It was established in 2000, through a gift from the Wexner Foundation, at Harvard Kennedy School, Harvard University.
In January 2008 the center moved from its offices at 124 Mt. Auburn Street to its current location in the Taubman Building on the main campus of Harvard Kennedy School in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
Five fellowships at Harvard University are currently operated by the center, they include: the Dubin Fellowship for Emerging Leaders, the George Leadership Fellowship, the Gleitsman Leadership Fellowship, Wexner Israel Fellowship, and the Zuckerman Fellowship.
Through a gift of $20 million from the estate of Alan Gleitsman, the center endowed the Gleitsman Program in Leadership for Social Change in 2007. The program supports the annual Gleitsman International Activist Award and Gleitsman Citizen Activist Award (given on alternating years), Gleitsman Leadership Fellows, and social change scholarship.
The Center for Public Leadership publishes an annual survey of Americans' confidence in the leaders, by sector, known as the "National Leadership Index". The survey was first taken in 2005 under the direction of Professor Todd L. Pittinsky, Ph.D., Seth A. Rosenthal, Ph.D., Brian Welle, Ph.D., and R. Matthew Montoya, Ph.D.
Since its founding in 2000, the Center for Public Leadership has hosted faculty, scholars, and practitioners for appointments ranging in length from one semester to multiple years.
