Three questions with Michael Kosfeld

What is the definition of leadership in an economic framework? And how do leaders get into top positions, given that there are many different types of leadership personalities? These are some of the research questions Michael Kosfeld is interested in. This video was made during his research visit at briq in the summer of 2018.
