The Fuqua/Coach K Center on Leadership & Ethics (COLE) recognizes that promoting internal and external awareness about COLE and leadership issues that it examines, is one of the most important aspects to the success of the Center. A key component will be leveraging the reputation and extensive network of Duke University, The Fuqua School of Business, academic and practitioner communities and other Leadership Centers, in order to foster the free exchange of ideas and theories about leadership & ethics. COLE is currently working with the following and other schools on the possibility of a Duke-wide leadership initiative.
