Transformational Leadership

The Influence of Exercise Habits on Leadership Styles and Leader Effectiveness

Beschreibung

It is easy to assume that, because exercise is beneficial to one’s health, more is better. Similarly, one may believe that the more intense one’s positive personality traits are, the more effective leader he or she will be. Himelhoch and Raymond’s book examines the influence of exercise habits and personality on leadership behaviors, using a curvilinear lens, and demonstrates a Goldilocks Paradox. Too much of a good thing can be a bad thing, and this research helps us understand what levels are best. ~Allan Afuah, PhD, Professor of Corporate Strategy and International Business, The Ross School of Business, The University of Michigan Understanding factors that contribute to effective leadership is important knowledge for developing and improving leaders. This thought-provoking work explores relationships between leisure exercise habits and leadership styles and considers some interesting hypotheses that are relevant across many fields. ~Beth A. Smith, PT, DPT, PhD, Assistant Professor of Research, Division of Biokinesiology and Physical Therapy, University of Southern California

Autor

Dr. Carol R. Himelhoch received her PhD from the University of Michigan. She is a Professor of Management and Organizational Behavior at Siena Heights University in Adrian, Michigan. Her management experience spans Tier 1 automotive manufacturing operations, marketing, advertising, and retail management. Carol contributes to the field of management by publishing in peer-reviewed journals and speaking at management and leadership conferences. Carol has been active in consulting since the mid-1980s. She has been an avid HIIT athlete since 2005. Dr. Carol's first book "Transformational Leadership and High-intensity Interval training" was an exploratory study of how leaders who participate in high-intensity interval training perceive the influence of HIIT on their leadership styles. She is back at it again, this time in a quantitative follow-up study of 189 leaders at all managerial levels, and at all levels of exercise from none at all to very high intensity. Her follow-up study also includes subordinate perceptions of their leaders to minimize leader self-report biases. Her recent research culminates in the discovery of nuanced factors in the relationship between exercise and leadership.
