I found this engaging and interesting, and kept nodding along, till they provided more details on the study and uh... not sure I'll buy this given that they never actually studied or touched an actual corporate or business environment. Would love to know if/how I'm wrong here and how the research corrects for this.

"The study, published in the Journal of Business and Psychology, tracked 220 US-based teams to see which team members emerged as leaders across in-person, virtual and hybrid groups. The researchers conducted a series of in-lab experiments with 86 four-person teams, and also traced the communications and experiences of 134 teams doing a semester-long project in a university class (students are commonly used as proxy for workers in leadership research). The study was carried out pre-pandemic, focusing on emergent leaders: those perceived as leaders, and whose influence is willingly accepted."
