Competent leadership advisory is based on in-depth research and deep understanding. This is why I invest time in studying academic organizations and their leaders to understand what matters most in leadership of universities and research labs.
In my book „Wissenschaftsleadership“ (2019) I analyze success criteria for leadership at universities and research labs. I derive a leadership model which can be applied specifically to academic organizations.
