You only live once: Do life events shape authentic leaders?

(2017) You only live once: Do life events shape authentic leaders? Masters by Research thesis, Queensland University of Technology.

Description

In this thesis research in Authentic Leadership and its relationship to life events and self-knowledge is continued. Through a quantitative analysis of data from over 150 leaders, a relationship was found between leaders with many life events and the strength of their authentic leadership. Additionally, there was evidence supporting the positive impact of recalling life events prior to reporting on authentic leadership. Consequently, a potential process for authentic leadership enhancement has been uncovered through this study.
