Background and objective

The Institute for Advanced Study in Toulouse (IAST) will be hosting an interdisciplinary workshop on "Leadership: does it matter?"

This first workshop is organised by the IAST Research Team on Leadership, Power and Inequality (LPI).

The workshop aims to explore whether leadership, particular leader traits, or leaders' gender matter for collective outcomes. This question is attracting attention across several disciplines: the main objective of the workshop is to bring together the different perspectives and insights from Anthropology, Economics, Evolutionary Biology, History, Management, Political Science, Psychology and Sociology, fostering cross-fertilisation.
