Associate Professor Leadership & Management
In my research, I focus on the unique relationship between leaders and followers and investigate how leadership can bring out the best in people as well as where leadership can go wrong. I work on four interrelated lines of research, namely the link between personality and leadership, visionairy leader behavior, ethical leadership and the dark side of leadership.
