About
I've spent over a decade researching, writing, consulting, and teaching about interpersonal relationships, human interactions, and people-problems in organizations. My early academic work centered on work stress, organizational politics, and dysfunctional leadership, and through the years I've broadened my focus to explore a wider range of human issues in the workplace. My passion for understanding and repairing interpersonal issues led to my current role as Director of the Tyson Center for Faith-Friendly Workplaces, a center dedicated to increasing religious tolerance, interfaith understanding, and acceptance of religious diversity in the workplace.
