Experts and expertise contribute to consequential organizational decisions from recruitment to CEO succession–but these constructs are inconsistently operationalized and poorly understood. To better explicate how experts and expertise function in organizations we first conduct an integrative review to describe what is known about these phenomena in cognitive science, psychology and the clinical and technical professions. We then review what is ...

Identity leadership captures leaders efforts to create and promote a sense of shared group membership (i.e., a sense of “we” and of “us”) among followers. The present research report tests this claim by drawing on data from 26 countries that are part of the Global Identity Leadership Development (GILD) project to examine the relationship between political leaders' identity leadership and civic citizenship behavior (N = 6787). It also examines ...

Building upon the recent identification of 10 peer leadership roles and 37 underlying functions, the current ...

The leadership literature has mainly considered shared leadership as a unified concept, overlooking the fact that it comes in many forms.

Knowing the benefits and challenges of different shared leadership implementations is crucial as it can either strengthen or undermine the overall effectiveness of shared leadership. To gain insights into ...

The general aim of this PhD project is to enhance coach effectiveness by creating a fine-grained perspective on coach behavior using a context-specific approach.

In addition, to get a valid overview on both between and within-person variability of coach behavior, we will develop a short questionnaire based on the circumplex model for ...

To remain competitive, organizations tend to change their established ways of working, their strategy, the core values, and the organizational structure. Such thorough changes are referred to as transformational change. Unfortunately, transformational change is often unsuccessful because organizational members do not always welcome the change. Although organizations often expect their supervisors to be successful role-models and change-agents ...

ABSTRACTCoach-rated participative behaviour has already been related to beneficial outcomes in athletes. Yet, research also indicates that allowing participation is not straightforward as it can sometimes be perceived as controlling or can even result in maladaptive outcomes. Building on implicit leadership theory, this study investigated the role of the alignment between coach-rated participation and athletes' expectations for participation in ...
