| | | | Leadership
I'm interested in leadership both from an applied and scholarly perspective. Specifically, my research focuses on perceptions and ratings of leadership as well as the dynamics between leaders and followers. My Master's thesis examined gender, self-rated leadership style, and perceptions of effectiveness of transformational and transactional leadership styles through a social psychology framework (in a nutshell, I found that while both males and females rate transformational leaders higher than transactional leaders, females rated transformational leaders significantly higher than males, leader gender had no predictive relationship with participants' ratings). Currently, I'm starting to feel out my dissertation focus, which I think is going to deal with perceptions from a more 360 degree situation in organizations.
