Professor Benjamin Laker is a Professor of Leadership and Postgraduate Research Director in the department of Leadership, Organisations, Behaviour and Reputation at Henley Business School.

Benjamin examines the macro-level influence of societal and environmental volatility on workplaces in conjunction with the micro-level, intra-firm strategies leaders deploy to contend with these exigencies. His research findings have been published in the Journal of Consumer Research, Journal of Management Studies, Human Resource Management, Organizational Research Methods, Business History, European Journal of Operational Research, International Journal of Operations and Production Management, Harvard Business Review and MIT Sloan Management Review.

Managerial insights from Benjamin's studies have engendered one seminal textbook and three popular titles. Too Proud To Lead (Bloomsbury, 2021) was praised by Adidas, The Telegraph and the Financial Times for its insights into Deutsche Bank and WeWork's failures. Closing The Service Gap (Financial Times, 2023) was endorsed by Apple, Google and Microsoft for its analysis of the platform economy's societal effects. Job Crafting (The MIT Press, 2024) was commended by McKinsey and Company for examining how individuals can psychologically reshape their employment to derive greater meaning.

Benjamin is Associate Editor at the Journal of Business Research, Guest Editor at Technology in Society and Managing Editor of the Edward Elgar Encyclopedia of Leadership. He contributes periodically to the Financial Times, Forbes, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and The Washington Post.
