The Future of Work
The future of leadership
Objectives
Defining leadership as a goal-directed influence of one person (the leader) towards others (one or more of their followers) and acknowledging that leadership can be positive or negative in nature (e.g., servant leadership, charismatic leadership vs abusive supervision), this research group focus on sustainable leadership for the future workplace.
Ongoing research projects include:
- How to work with dark leaders?
- How does socioeconomic status influence leadership?
- What are the benefits of positive leadership?
- What is the impact of the presence of women in executive boards on leadership?
- Is leadership the key to firm performance?
