Coauthor of the study and professor at Lund University in Sweden, Mats Alvesson, says, “We live in a society where idealized, grandiose images and aspirations dominate.” We then, as a culture, want as much as possible to be presented as good and impressive.

Where once leaders were thought of as being commanding, take-charge figures who often stood alone at the top of the heap, now we understand that leaders actually possess a wide range of temperaments and characteristics. Some leaders are much quieter and prefer to empower and encourage their teams, whereas others prefer to be in the spotlight. No matter how much one leader may differ from the next, there are always g...
