This research extends our understanding of ethical decision making on the part of leaders by merging social role and self-construal perspectives.

These predictions were experimentally tested by assigning participants to the role of leader or non-leading group member and assessing the association between their …

This book offers a new conceptual framework for understanding heroism and heroic leadership, drawing from theories of great leadership and heroic action. Ten categories of heroism are described: Trending Heroes, Transitory Heroes, Transparent Heroes, …
