We examined how the transformational leadership style could strengthen firms' performance levels through familiness. In this cross-sectional field study, survey measures were obtained from family CEOs of 72 German family firms, and the members of their non-family-based TMTs (245 TMT members). Support was obtained for a four-path mediation model, in which three distinct familiness-related team forces (TMT cohesion, behavioral integration, and efficacy) serve as mediators between CEO TFL and family-firm performance in a series. It is argued here that positive familiness results from a specific leadership style.}, language = {en} } @article{NeffeWilderomLattuch2019, author = {Neffe, Carolin and Wilderom, Celeste P.
