One of the reasons I don’t like leadership research is that it’s so often post-hoc storytelling. Case in point: Ken Lay of Enron being the case study for leadership in this popular 2002 OB textbook 😳 #MGMTtwitter
Long ago, Jim Meindl pointed out that "leadership" is just a story we use to simplify and explain complex events. Now, Steffens and @alexanderhaslam show that narcissists are most likely to believe in the leadership story. Perhaps humbler people can better grasp complexity? 🙏
Another fire paper from Alvesson in #LeadershipQuarterly exposing the questionable practices leadership scholars use to make their studies appear "successful" 🔥
