Research Interests

My research interests are best categorized into two broad, yet overlapping domains: leadership and innovation management. Within the area of leadership, my current interests revolve around understanding darker leader behaviors including leader error and leader deviance. Within the area of innovation, my interests focus on the enhancement and development of innovation in the workplace. Across both areas of interest, I take a multilevel perspective to understanding and investigating relevant constructs. Secondary interests include: teams, leading unique workforce populations, organizational climate, alternative research methods, multilevel modeling and structural equation modeling.
