Leadership & Values in Times of Instability

Professor Raffaelli investigates the role of leaders within organizations and across industries during periods of upheaval and ambiguity. His work indicates the key role leaders play in driving and infusing values. He also connects leadership to meaning-making, theorizing about the underlying processes and mechanisms that allow leaders to foster the continuance, character, and collective nature of values in organizations. His research finds that such leadership is essential in times of instability.
