Research Interests
My research interests fall into two broad domains: leadership and innovation
management. Within the area of leadership, my interests revolve around
the identification and consideration of outstanding leadership with emphasized
interest on pragmatic leadership. Within the area of innovation, my interests
focus on the enhancement and development of creativity and innovation
in the workplace. Across both areas of research, I take a multi-level
perspective to understanding and investigating relevant phenomena. My
secondary interests include: teams, organizational climate, alternative
research methods, leader errors as well as the investigation of “darker”
leadership behaviors such as Machiavellianism and ideologically-based
leader violence.
