Philippe Jacquart

I am an associate professor of organizational behavior, focusing on leadership and research methods, at emlyon Business School, France. Currently, I head the BRiO research group (Behavioral Research in Organizations) and serve as an Associate Editor and Methods Advisor for The Leadership Quarterly. I am also an invited scientific collaborator at the University of Lausanne (Unil), Switzerland, from which I received a Doctorate in Management and Economics. Prior to joining emlyon, I was a postdoctoral research at the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania. I have held visiting appointements at the Universities of Amsterdam (UvA), and Munich (LMU), and at the Vlerick and ESADE Business Schools, respectively, in Brussels and Barcelona.

My research focuses primarily on top-level leadership. In particular, I am interested in understanding the psychological processes through which we select our leaders, and why individuals seek out and attain leadership positions.

My work has been published in outlets such as the Academy of Management Journal and The Leadership Quarterly, and has been featured in a wide range of news outlets including the New Yorker, the Atlantic, the Financial Times, Forbes, Newsweek, and Le Monde.

At emlyon business school, I teach organizational behavior, leadership, and research methods to MBA and PhD students. Here is my homepage at emlyon.

I worked at music festivals, notably the Montreux and Cully Jazz festivals, for a number of years. These days seem to be more quiet and I find great joy in sharing good food and good wine with friends (particularly wines produced around Lyon, in the Burgundy, Beaujolais, and Côtes-du-Rhône regions). I’ve dabbled in yoga for about half of my short life and in meditation for half of that time. Both activities seem to make my experience of life more vivid and spacious. Most of all, I enjoy going on retreats, particularly solitary retreat in the simple and beautiful cabins of Karmê Chöling, in Vermont.
