Focusing predominately on informal forms of leadership - e.g., mentoring, social networks, and implicit theories - this research converges in a way that helps to explain how intrasubjective perceptions and processes and intersubjective dynamics inform the mutual construction of leadership, workplace relationships, and strategic outcomes. Dr. Weinberg also specializes in measurement instrument (scale) development and shortening. Frankie is Associate Editor of the Journal of Managerial Psychology (JMP), Editor of JMP's Special Issue on Mentoring and Coaching in the Workplace, and recent past Board Member of the Southern Management Association (SMA), which works together with SAGE on governance of two highly respected journals - Journal of Management, and Journal of Management Scientific Reports.
