    Social Death at Work

    Originally posted on Sandyhershcovis.org Lately I’ve become interested in workplace ostracism as a form of workplace aggression. Most research lumps ostracism with other forms of mistreatment (incivility, bullying, etc.), but a recent chapter by Sandra Robinson and Kira Schabram (in press), has convinced me that it is in fact quite different, and possibly much more painful […]

    On Freud on Us

    The Myth of Pragmatic Business Leadership

    In a just-published research piece, a group of scholars from Harvard and University College of London posed a significant challenge to the supposed benefits of “fact-based” reasoning.[1]  The way people respond to factual arguments – in this case, the researchers used scientifically-based findings concerning climate change – is predetermined by their previous beliefs.  Exposure to […]
