Research

Dr. Welbourne runs several large research projects focused on developing interventions to improve organizational performance through people. These research studies include the Leadership Pulse, which is the only real-time benchmarking and leadership learning project currently in place with over 12,000 leaders around the world. She also conducts in-depth case studies with organizations, using pulsing technology that allows for repeat measures (as frequently as weekly) with employees going through large-scale and ongoing high change environments (e.g. mergers, high growth, new leaders, etc.). Her work includes breakthrough thinking about employee engagement, based on data from large-scale, multi-firm, longitudinal studies on the predictors of firm growth and the role of employee energy in driving change.
