Seminar: Organizations as reflections of their leaders’ personality

Organizations can be seen as reflections of their leaders. I will present research about proximal and distal manifestations of leader personality and some of the mechanisms through which leaders come to impact their followers and shape their organizations. I will focus on studies of leaders’ personal values and demonstrate relationships between these values and a variety of organizational attributes and outcomes. Data in this research come from leaders, followers, and in several cases additional sources, such as archival performance data and additional stakeholders.
