Our research focuses on the social dynamics between leaders and followers, and on the role of emotions in organizational life. We examine, for example, what makes leaders charismatic, how charismatic leaders affect followers, how leaders infuse emotions in those who look up to them, how leaders develop and use emotional intelligence, how emotions spread to affect collectivities, and how organizations can create cultures that feature high levels of engagement and low levels of exhaustion.
