Final Call to Aspiring IO Professionals

Dr. Elizabeth Fleming and Morgan Ashworth of "Organizational Sherlocks" interviewed Matt Poepsel, PhD, who discussed his work at The Predictive Index and Boston College, focusing on the evolving nature of work and the importance of leadership grounded in self-awareness and purpose. They covered his "Killer Bees" concept (being, belonging, and something bigger than myself), the distinction between management and leadership, and the critical role of applied, interdisciplinary learning in IO psychology. The discussion emphasized that embracing the unknown in education and career leads to greater fulfillment and prepares professionals for the diverse demands of the field.
