Vanessa Druskat, PhD, Associate Professor Of Organziational Behavior And Managment - Abridged

Today’s guest is my colleague Dr. Vanessa Druskat, associate professor of Organizational Behavior and Management here at the University of New Hampshire. Vanessa studies and teaches about team emotional intelligence, helping organizations develop more effective norms and behaviors. In this podcast, we talk in detail about a few of her papers, particularly a Harvard Business Review paper she coauthored called Building the Emotional Intelligence of Teams, which I have included a link to in the show notes. This is the abridged version. In the full length version of the interview, we also go through Vanessa’s intellectual journey from an early interest in social work to a PhD in organizational psychology and research on transformational leadership, self-managing teams, and what led her to study the emotional intelligence of teams.
