Pioneering Research Insights for Practice

• We investigate how entrepreneurs and leaders become successful: How do founder personalities develop? How can one best lead oneself? How do employees become strong leaders? And how can organisations and their personnel thrive optimally?
• Effective Leadership Methods: We analyse charismatic leadership and specific behaviours as well as their effects on employees, both in personal interactions and through virtual reality and artificial intelligence.
• Emotional Dynamics in Leadership: We explore the influence of leaders’ emotional experiences on their leadership behaviour and its impact on employees.
• Development of Individual Competencies: We study the effects of mindfulness and self-leadership training on leadership and stress management skills, creativity and well-being.
