Me in Three
I am Lecturer in Business and Leadership at Norwich Business School at the University of East Anglia in London. I have previously worked at Open University Business School as Research Fellow in International Management Practice, Education, and Learning (IMPEL).
I have a PhD in Organizational Behaviour from McGill University, Desautels Faculty of Management. My PhD thesis on benevolent leadership was selected as the winner of 2010 Emerald/EFMD Outstanding Doctoral Research Award in the Leadership and Organization Development category.
My research aims to build new ways of understanding how we can nurture the human spirit and build a collective sense of creativity and vitality in organizations. My research interests include spirituality at work, benevolent leadership, positive management education, creativity, design thinking, and social innovation.
I am a member of the positive organizational scholarship (POS) network based at the University of Michigan; where we aim to understand, explain, and create the best of the human condition, positive deviance, and flourishing in organizations.
