Leadership

Research on leadership has taken a major turn fairly recently to significantly emphasize the embodiment of values and character in one's leadership. Positive and promising results have been observed when examining the impact of value-based leadership on employee performance. Even more recently, further emphasis has been given to understanding the impact of value-based leadership on employee wellbeing outcomes (e.g., happiness, life satisfaction, stress, burnout, etc.). I'd like you to think about this association - why might value-based leadership boost employee wellbeing? What would drive such a positive association potentially? Alternatively, if you don't think employees are likely to realize better wellbeing outcomes, offer us a rationale as to why you believe so.
