Profile

Hannes Leroy is interested in authentic leadership and how to develop it. That interest includes not only a passionate and critical view of the concept of authenticity but his past work also includes a better understanding of its unique outcomes (e.g., safety, error hiding and work engagement), antecedents (e.g., mindfulness training), and similarities and differences from related concepts (i.e., leader behavioral integrity, leader communication transparency). On the development side he is passionate about authenticity both in terms of developing leaders to use their unique or authentic self as a source of their leadership strength as well as the idea of real (i.e., actually moving the needle) leadership development.

Does morality matter for a leader? Research of Dr Hannes Leroy shows "yes", and benefits range from team performance to financial measures.

“Just be yourself” might not be the best advice

According to new research from Dr Hannes Leroy authenticity is not equally beneficial for everybody in every setting.

Are formal bonus procedures actually motivating your staff?

Understanding effective leadership development

To give this rapidly changing world the leaders it needs, we urgently need better leadership development. The Erasmus Centre for Leadership aims to do just that.
