Très inspirés par les travaux de Max Weber sur la légitimité et le charisme ainsi que sa méthode compréhensive et comparative, mon programme de recherche appuyé sur la philosophie et la psychologie du pouvoir, porte sur les aspects sombres, lumineux et numineux du leadership dans les organisations, dans les champs économiques, politiques et spirituels.
