Pursue a PhD in Organizational Leadership Today

Why is a PhD in Organizational Leadership more useful now than ever before?

Companies need better organizational leaders 

A recent study done by Development Dimensions International revealed a variety of surprising facts about the current state of corporate leadership.

Only 40% of leaders believe their company contains high-quality effective organizational leadership, 72% of leaders feel burned out at the end of the day, 15% feel prepared to keep employees from becoming burned out, 46% of leaders attest to complete faith in their immediate supervisor, and just 33% claim faith in any other senior leaders in the company. 

Get the leadership skills you need to thrive

Because the state of corporate leadership is less than ideal at present, individuals with proper education in leadership areas fill an essential role in the current job market.

Obtaining a PhD in Organizational Leadership teaches students to develop an organizational mission, inspire others, and work well with colleagues to achieve goals.

Students will also learn leadership theories, foster innovation, and perform research in practical, applicable ways, while integrating faith and diverse perspectives. Upon successful completion of the PhD program, each student will obtain the tools to become an effective organizational leader.

How can an organizational leadership degree help you?

While individuals with a doctorate in Organizational Leadership boast the necessary qualifications to excel in executive-level organizational leadership, they can also succeed as consultants, researchers, and professors in higher education–all of which also fill essential roles. 

Through Indiana Wesleyan University’s award-winning doctoral program, you can complete your PhD in Organizational Leadership online. Doctoral students will receive the benefits of locked-in tuition rates, a strong network of academic support, and faculty who teach from a robust Biblical worldview. 

“I chose the PhD at IWU because I wanted a rigorous degree that could push me while being a program that could align with my life as a wife, mom, and professional,” said recent PhD student Sarah Harstad. 

“I also wanted a program that would respect my values. I did not anticipate the much greater outcome of being pointed to grow in my faith, guided by scripture in coursework, and reinforced in the importance of bringing my value system to the academic table.”

Ronna Donaldson, another recent graduate, stated, “The DOL program has far exceeded my expectations. I did not expect to walk into such a caring environment. I thought the program was going to be strictly academic. 

"I have experienced kindness, empathy, motivation, understanding, and so much more from everyone I have interacted with. The instructors bring a sense of peace that contributes to my learning like I have never experienced. I cannot say enough good things about this program. The DOL program has challenged me in ways I never realized I could overcome. 

"There have been worries, frustrations, lack of sleep, tears, and friendships that I never saw coming. My family watched me grow and struggle and I thank this program for showing them and me how strong I can be.”

At Indiana Wesleyan University, when you pursue your doctoral degree you will receive both an education which will set you on a course for success and personal connections which will stay with you for years to come. The field of organizational leadership is important and with your advanced degree you could play an important role in the future of companies all over the world.
