The 2010 recipient of the Kirk Englehardt Exemplary Business Ethics Award

Ulrich is as a Professor of Business at the University of Michigan and a partner at the RBL Group, a consulting firm focused on helping organizations and leaders deliver value. He studies how organizations build capabilities of speed, learning, collaboration, accountability, talent, and leadership through leveraging human resources.   

He has helped generate award winning data bases that assess alignment between strategies, human resource practices and HR competencies.  

In the leadership area, his colleague Norm Smallwood and Ulrich have worked to focus on the outcomes of effective leadership (Results-Based Leadership); they have also shown how leadership will increase customer share by creating a leadership brand within the company (Leadership Brand). Their work also illustrates that investing in leadership will increase shareholder value (How Leaders Build Value).

His recent work (with Kate Sweetman) synthesizes the thicket of leadership competency models into a unified view of leadership (The Leadership Code).
