Associate Professor Nathan Eva is a Fulbright Scholar (2021) and an Associate Professor in the Department of Management at the Monash Business School.
His research focuses on changing the conversation with respect to how people lead within organisations, by challenging dominant ego-centric leadership paradigms using the servant leadership framework. His work demonstrates that inclusive approaches to leadership have more profound and lasting effects on follower and organisational in-role and extra-role behaviours, than dominant paradigms of ego-centric leadership.
