Academic career
editCarroll completed a PhD titled Mapping the Professional Who Manages: Identity, Narrative and Spatiality at the University of Auckland.[1] Carroll then joined the faculty of the Department of Management and International Business at the University of Auckland, rising to full professor and giving her inaugural lecture in 2021.[2] She holds the Fletcher Building Employee Educational Fund Chair in Leadership, and is the third person to do so, after Brad Jackson and Kevin Low.[3][2][4][5]
Carroll is interested in leadership, and has researched different leadership practices and mindsets, as well as how people in leadership can support and encourage leadership around them, creating a leadership team. She also teaches organisational theory and qualitative research methods, and was part of a research collaboration with Professor Kerr Inkson around how compliance issues were affecting boards of directors in New Zealand.[5][6][7] She said, "Ironically we might be in a world of too many leaders and not enough leadership. Research has already started to explore ‘anti-leadering’ and ‘leaderlessness’ as proactive strategies to create more leadership. Therefore we need to move beyond feeling like a leader all or even most of the time. There is a far larger repertoire possible."[2]
Carroll is an associate editor on the journal Leadership, and has published three co-edited books.[8][9] She has co-convened at the European Group of Organization Studies, and was invited to teach PhD courses at the Copenhagen Business School.[9] In 2014 and 2020 she was awarded the University of Auckland Business School Research Excellence Award, and received a teaching award in 2019.[10][9]
