"Win or die" norms within organizations create a toxic culture with a miserable work environment that leads to organizational dysfunction. This talk addresses how such a culture originates, and what can be done to return the focus to the organization's core mission.
Peter Glick, PhD is the Henry Merritt Wriston Professor at Lawrence University and a Senior Scientist with the Neuroleadership Institute.
As a visiting Professor of Management and Organizations at Northwestern University, he codesigned the Kellogg School of Management’s first course on diversity management. The Harvard Business Review recognized his stereotype content model (codeveloped with Susan Fiske, Princeton, and Amy Cuddy, Harvard) as a "breakthrough idea for 2009."
His highly cited work on benevolent sexism (with Susan Fiske) has revolutionized our understanding of discrimination against women, receiving the Allport Prize for best paper on intergroup relations. Both theories are highly influential, with over 30,000 Google Scholar citations. In addition to more than 80 articles, he has coedited or coauthored three books, including the Sage Handbook of Prejudice. His work has been covered in such outlets as the New York Times, Harvard Business Review, and PBS NewsHour. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
