Abstract

We examined how facial features of team-leaders influence the perception of the team’s social environment by prospective team-members. Finding: highly dominant-looking leaders are related to perceptions of high-vertical and low-horizontal team mobility. We highlight the significance in understanding how these members perceive the team since teams are vital to organizations.
