About me
I am a Post-Doc student at the Social Psychology Department, researching leadership. I am interested in how leadership can foster the development of follower (self-)leadership, and which role organizational culture plays in this process. In addition to this, I am interested in the impact positive forms of leadership can have on innovation and the topic of organizational transformation.
After studying Psychology in Bonn, Madrid, and Munich, I worked in an organization for two years. The experiences I gathered here help me today to ensure practical relevance of my research. As a close connection between research and practice is very essential to me, I also currently work as a consultant for organizational development at Netzwert Partner GmbH in Munich.
