The present study aims to explore the effect of leader proactive personality on team outcomes and the moderating role of subordinate seeking resources behavior. Using a sample of 53 work teams from a Chinese pharmaceutical sales company, we found that when the level of subordinate seeking resources is low, leader proactive personality increases team-level exhaustion, which in turn is negatively...

Uncontrolled growth in a confined space generates mechanical compressive stress within tumors, but little is known about how such stress affects tumor cell behavior. Here we show that compressive stress stimulates migration of mammary carcinoma cells. The enhanced migration is accomplished by a subset of "leader cells" that extend filopodia at the leading edge of the cell sheet. Formation of th...

The literatures on both authentic leadership and behavioral integrity have argued that leader integrity drives follower performance. Yet, despite overlap in conceptualization and mechanisms, no research has investigated how authentic leadership and behavioral integrity relate to one another in driving follower performance. In this study, we propose and test the notion that authentic leadership ...

This paper presents a tuned behavior-based guidance algorithm for formation flight of quadrotors. The behavior-based approach provides the basis for the simultaneous realization of different behaviors such as leader following and obstacle avoidance for a group of agents; in our case they are quadcopters. In this paper optimization techniques are utilized to tune the parameters of a behavior-bas...

We introduce a model of war and peace in which leaders believe that their adversaries might be crazy types that always behave aggressively, regardless of whether it is optimal to do so. In the model, two countries are involved in a dispute. The dispute can end in a peaceful settlement, or it can escalate to “limited war” or “total war.” If it is common knowledge that the leaders of countries ar...
