Dr. Cloutier is an Assistant Professor at the Rowe School of Business at Dalhousie University. Dr. Cloutier conducts research on the topics of leadership, mental health, and the work-family interface. She considers antecedents to leadership emergence (who becomes a leader?), barriers to leader role occupancy (who does not become a leader?) and predictors of leadership behaviour (why do some leaders behave well, and others badly?). She examines how employees’ home-life, mental health and gender affect these leadership outcomes.
