Præsentation
Leadership and ethics
The key word for my research is ethics, dilemmas, and clashes of values.

I have done intensive studies on expectations of responsibility in leadership, and how guilt occurs when organizations fail, calling for the leader to act.

Further, I have done research on 1) clashes of values in school leadership, between professional and political expectations to leadership and 2) clashes of values in leadership in the national Danish Lutheran church, where volunteers, professionals, and political actors do not always share values on what organization and leadership is about.

My first international paper was in 1997 on reframing of problems, in order to find new solutions: "Short-term Counseling and the Use of Reframing", Journal of Pastoral Psychology Vol. 46, no.2, 1997, s.119-130
 
Gold Medal
Camilla Sløk received in 1996 Copenhagen University’s gold medal. 
Copenhagen University’s Gold Medal is an award that is given to a student at Copenhagen University for an excellent thesis. The excellency is based on the quality of the thesis. The thesis is to answer research questions that are formulated by professors at Copenhagen University. Camilla Sløk received the prize Gold Medal for her thesis ”Kaskader af differens: Niklas Luhmanns religionsfilosofi” (Cascading of differences: Niklas Luhmann’s philopsophy of religion). The thesis show how the sociologist Niklas Luhmann draw on theological traditions in his sociological perspective on society. Luhmann perceives the dialectics between contingency and necessity as essential for the dynamics of social systems. This distinction is inspired by theology. Luhmann points out the particularity of religion as being a system which claims necessity is an intrinsic dimension of religious communication. This stands in stark contrast to contemporary society which claims that everything is contingent.
 
DSEB’s excellent research dissemination award
Camilla Sløk received in 2018 DSEB’s Award for excellent research dissemination. Camilla Sløk has currently done research in public leadership. The Award was granted for her research in responsibility and guilt in leadership, particularly her book : ”Blod, sved og tårer: Om ansvar og skyld i ledelse” (DJØF Forlag, 2014) presents the findings on leaders’ understanding of guilt and responsibility. Camilla Sløk shows how stakeholders expect leaders to admit guilt, when things go wrong in their organization, while leaders in contrast do not accept that guilt is part of their leadership. Research shows that leaders see faults; error; deceit; corruption, etc. in their organization as not their responsibility.
