Drawing on seminal research, while also leveraging recent technological advances, CCL researchers developed a wearable technology system called HiFi. HiFi stands for a high-fidelity measure of collective leadership and represents an automated system that uses unobtrusive, wearable recording devices to capture real-time conversational interactions, allowing us to shadow leaders working together in natural environments. Because of HiFi, CCL has established new ways of systematically capturing and analyzing conversations that build on both the seminal work from earlier studies as well as this burgeoning new research. In this Research Insights paper, we review several emerging findings that can help inform leadership development as well as chart a course for the future.
