The Leader and Organization Vitality (LOV) Center bridges academic research and the business world by partnering with leading scientists to create evidence-based tools and programs that help leaders, teams, and organizations thrive.
Through research partnerships, assessment development, and applied organizational studies, we help translate research into practical tools that create meaningful impact for leaders and organizations.
Leadership research at the LOV Center focuses on Leader Vitality, Leadership Well-Being, and Positive Leadership. We explore how leaders perform at their highest capacity while building positive relationships, strengthening resilience, and creating the conditions for sustainable high performance.
Using the 5Cs Model and the Principles 5Cs Assessment, we study team dynamics, employee satisfaction, organizational culture, and performance. Our goal is to help organizations understand and improve the human systems that drive results.
The LOV Center partners with Claremont University’s Leader and Organization Vitality Lab (LOV Lab), a community of advanced graduate students and researchers in positive psychology, organizational psychology, leadership, and organizational behavior. Together, we contribute to research shaping the future of work.
With Positive Leadership as a guiding framework, leaders learn how to transfer positive relational energy to others. This results in uplifting their team and organization to be more creative, energized, productive, and engaged.
Positive Leaders encourage, empower, energize and enhance the well-being and positive functioning of others.
Cultivating your vitality gives you the inner energy resources to serve others from a place of abundance. Vitality is foundational to positive leadership.
Caring for your well-being using the PERMA+4 model creates the foundation to build your vitality.
The insights developed through the LOV Center help inform Connected EC’s coaching, team development, organizational consulting, assessments, and leadership programs. Our goal is simple: transform research into practical solutions that help leaders, teams, and organizations thrive.
