The staff and board of the USC Annenberg Center on Communication Leadership & Policy mourn the passing of advisory board member and distinguished fellow Warren Bennis.
A true pioneer who helped found the field of leadership studies, Bennis was part of CCLP from the very beginning, sharing his wisdom, guidance and insights at several gatherings.
We are profoundly grateful for Dr. Bennis’s support and enthusiasm for CCLP’s work, and his countless contributions as a scholar, strategist and leader over nearly four decades at USC. The university has published an obituary highlighting Bennis’s achievements, as has The New York Times, The Washington Post, Forbes, and The Huffington Post.
In 2010, CCLP, in partnership with USC Marshall School of Business, presented a special program, Honoring a Lifetime of Leadership: A conversation with Dr. Warren Bennis, featuring Dr. Bennis, CCLP director Geoffrey Cowan and USC Marshall Dean Jim Ellis. The event can be viewed by clicking here.
