Despite its popularity, authentic leadership remains enigmatic, with both advantages and disadvantages. The connection between authenticity (an internal process) and leadership (an external influence process) is complex. We introduce a theory that co...

Leader Identity on the Fly: Intra-personal Leader Identity Dynamics in Response to Strong Events (2023)
Journal Article

Recent theorizing challenges the notion that leadership, and especially leader identities, is static. Yet, we know little about the dynamics that characterize how leader identities change within individuals across short periods of time. The current w...

Modeling Identities in Context: A Dynamical Systems Approach to Leader-Follower Identities (2021)
Journal Article
Nieberle, K., Acton, B., Braun, S., & Lord, R. G. (2021). Modeling Identities in Context: A Dynamical Systems Approach to Leader-Follower Identities. Academy of Management Proceedings, 2021(1), https://doi.org/10.5465/ambpp.2021.13413abstract

Although leadership and followership processes are flexible and fluid, our theoretical and empirical knowledge of the short-term dynamics in individuals’ leadership and followership identities are limited. Building on a Dynamical Systems Perspective... Read More about Modeling Identities in Context: A Dynamical Systems Approach to Leader-Follower Identities.
