Sara joined the Center as part of the research team for the Breaking the Glass Ceiling research, which studied executive women's career development in Fortune 100 firms. This research was published in 1987 in Breaking the Glass Ceiling: Can Women Reach the Top of America's Largest Corporations? by Morrison, White, and Van Velsor.

These publications highlight leadership education programs and courses in higher education settings. Her most recent work, Discovering the Leader in You, offers an insightful approach to understanding how aspects of personality, character, vision, home life, values, and skills match with essential leadership activities. The book, coauthored with colleague Robert J. Lee, is a joint publication of the Jossey-Bass Business and Management Series and CCL.
Sara received a B.A. from Wake Forest University and a M.S. in Educational Administration from Cornell University.
