When Belonging Becomes Harmful Groupthink

Vanessa Druskat advises leaders in some of the world’s top organizations. She's an award-winning researcher and leading expert on team leadership. The Team Emotional Intelligence (Team EI) model came from her 3 decades of field research examining team cultures that inspire high-performing collaboration. She and her colleagues have used the model globally to teach leaders how to build higher-performing teams. Dr. Druskat serves on the faculty of the University of New Hampshire’s Peter T. Paul College of Business and Economics in Durham, New Hampshire, USA.
