7th Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Leadership Symposium

Event
Written By Selina Jacobi

1 — 4 May 2024, Thessaloniki (Greece)

CLFW team members Dr. Mary Hausfeld, Dr. Jennifer Sparr, and Prof. Lauren Howe attended the conference, which this year featured the theme “Inclusive Leadership”. At the conference, the team presented research on:

  • Whether women and men leaders behave in different ways – and whether leader behaviors are evaluated differently depending on whether a leader is a man or a woman

  • Whether emotional intelligence is an ability that differs by gender

  • How embracing a paradox mindset – or accepting and being energized by tensions – can help leaders master the complexity of inclusive leadership

  • Whether “both/and” leadership that embraces paradoxes is superior to more one-sided leadership approaches

  • How leaders can more effectively craft criticism to bridge sociopolitical divides and foster social change
