Personal profile

Dr Juliet Banoeng-Yakubo is an experienced Lecturer in Business and Management at the School of Leadership, Management and Marketing, De Montfort University. Her PhD study, undertaken at the Warwick Business School, focused on the shared leadership of intra-organisational work teams and employed a multilevel mixed methods research design. This research examined the substantive utility of shared leadership and the boundary conditions for its effectiveness within a sub-Saharan African context (i.e. Ghana), generally considered as an extreme business environment. Based on prior social network and team leadership research, she proposed that shared leadership mediated the relationships of internal team factors (i.e. vertical leadership, internal team environment, and team psychological empowerment) and contextual factors (i.e. task, social, and omnibus context) with team innovation and team resilience. She examined the proposed model using a convergent multilevel mixed methods research design across four financial services firms in Ghana. Prior to joining DMU, Juliet worked extensively in the financial services industry and Oxford Brookes University.

Juliet also holds an MSc in Management, an MBA in Finance, and a BSc in Administration (Banking & Finance). She has a broad range of experience in teaching at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels in business management. Her research has appeared in high ranking journals, including the Leadership Quarterly.
