PHOENIX – November 5, 2020 –University of Phoenix today announced several of its doctoral studies leaders will be presenting at the upcoming International Leadership Association conference, being held virtually, November 5-9, 2020.

The International Leadership Association (ILA) was created in 1999 to help bring together professionals with a keen interest in the study, practice, and teaching of leadership. Today, it is the largest worldwide community committed to leadership development, practice, and scholarship. The conference will explore leadership, the ways to lead, and what we can expect from leaders now and in the future.

The studies being presented by University of Phoenix were conducted at its College of Doctoral Studies and the Center for Leadership Studies and Organizational Research. The center utilizes an applied research model aiming to provide real-world solutions to specific problems pertaining to leadership in areas such as business, community, and education.

“We hope our presentations will help conference attendees learn how to be an effective leader in the future,” said Dr. Debra Sandberg, university faculty, Center for Leadership Studies and Organizational Research, University of Phoenix. “We will be focusing on the differences between human emotional intelligence and artificial intelligence, but also just how much they work in conjunction with one another.
