Send us a textDr. Hannes Leroy is interested in authentic leadership and how to develop it. That interest includes not only a passionate and critical view of the concept of authenticity but his past work also includes a better understanding of its unique outcomes (e.g., safety, error hiding and work engagement), antecedents (e.g., mindfulness training), and similarities and differences from related concepts (i.e., leader behavioral integrity, leader communication transparency). On the development side he is passionate about authenticity both in terms of developing leaders to use their unique or authentic self as a source of their leadership strength as well as the idea of real (i.e., actually moving the needle) leadership development.Dr. Hannes Leroy's ScholarshipGoogle ScholarA Quote "Academics have lamented that practitioners do not always adopt scientific evidence in practice, yet while academics preach evidence-based management (EBM), they do not always practice it." - Leroy et al. Resources Mentioned in This EpisodeArticle: Walking Our Evidence-Based Talk: The Case of Leadership Development in Business Schools by Leroy et al.Article: Advancing Leadership Education and Development: Integrating Adult Learning Theory by Allen, Rosch, and RiggioHannes' Ted Talk: I was never trained for this! Conference: New Directions in Leadership Research ConferenceGroup: The League of LeadershipAward: Evidence-Based Leadership Development Program AwardAbout The International Leadership Association (ILA)The ILA was created in 1999 to bring together professionals interested in the study, practice, and teaching of leadership. My Approach to HostingThe views of my guests do not constitute "truth."
