Dr. Luke Fletcher and Dr. Shaun Pichler
Show Me the Data!
When asked to explain the benefits and the challenges of LGBTQ+ leadership, we're often stuck relying on anecdotes because data gathering is difficult in a world where we often remain hidden. Dr. Luke Fletcher and Dr. Shaun Pichler, authors of the new journal article Songs of the Self: The Importance of Authentic Leadership and Core Self Evaluations for LGBT Managers, join us for a discussion about developing the academic underpinning and gathering the data on what makes LGBTQ+ leadership so powerful. We also cover their personal journeys, how they developed into leaders and researchers, and where we go from here to continue building the case about the value of LGBTQ+ leadership.
