Research: Informal Leadership Comes at a Cost
Paul Tesluk, PhD, Dean of UB School of Management, is our speaker for UB Center for Leadership and Organizational Effectiveness 52 Weeks of Leadership on Monday at noon on 'Lessening the Load: Practical Steps to Facilitate Shared Leadership.'
Managers can support employees' professional development and improve their entire team's performance by encouraging promising talent to take on informal leadership responsibilities. However, while taking on informal leadership duties can help employees feel more valued and support their growth, recent research suggests it can also significantly reduce their energy levels and job satisfaction. Dr. Tesluk will share steps managers and organizations can take to support their informal leaders to limit the negative impact of these additional responsibilities on energy levels and job satisfaction and facilitate effective, shared leadership.
This presentation is based on a recently published study he co-authored in the Harvard Business Review. You can find the HBR research translation piece here: https://hbr.org/2021/09/research-informal-leadership-comes-at-a-cost
