Last week, an interdisciplinary group of leadership and power researchers gathered for the 4th Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Leadership Symposium on Corfu, Greece. Armin Pircher-Verdorfer, Kristin Knipfer, Stephanie Rehbock and Ulf Steinberg presented their research projects at the intersection of leadership and power:

Knipfer, K., & Schmid, E. (2019, May). If you take it all, we will hide it! Leaders misusing their power fuel distrust and knowledge hiding in teams. Paper presented at the 4th Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Leadership Symposium (IPLS), Corfu, Greece.

Pircher Verdorfer, A. (2019, May). Leader Follower Congruence in Trait Mindfulness and Relationship Quality: The Mediating Role of Followers’ Voice Behavior. Paper presented at the 4th Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Leadership Symposium (IPLS), Corfu, Greece.

Steinberg, U., Knipfer, K., & Peus, C., (2019, May). How power influences leader information evaluation: Empirical insights based on different theories of power. Paper presented at the 4th Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Leadership Symposium (IPLS), Corfu, Greece.

Rehbock, S., Knipfer, K., Hubner, S., & Peus, C. (2019, May). The role of power in leader identity construal. Paper presented at the 4th Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Leadership Symposium (IPLS), Corfu, Greece.

Our chair was very well-represented, as our former colleagues Brooke Gazdag and Jamie Gloor also presented their work. We enjoyed the discussions and conversations with more than 80 junior and senior leadership scholars from all over the world. Overall, we believe that this symposium, which was initiated by Prof. Olga Epitropaki only four years ago, is going to become one of the most important leadership conferences.

Join us there in early May next year on Mykonos!
