This dissertation advances research on leadership perceptions and subjective meanings of leadership. In a series of qualitative and quantitative studies, I investigate the leader and the follower perspective on leadership, identity, and career requirements in the academic context. My research contributes to an enhanced understanding of (1) whether and how professors construe and enact a leader identity, (2) how followers describe typical professorial leaders and their effectiveness, and (3) how career requirements change when reaching a leadership position.
