Helping at Work

This research focuses on collaboration and helping in creative project teams. Colin Fisher (UCL), Julianna Pillemer (NYU Stern School), and I developed a multi-year research program examining help received and given, including successful and unsuccessful helping episodes, inside a creative design firm. One paper from this research program appeared in the Academy of Management Journal (2018). A second paper is currently under development. In 2014, we published a Harvard Business Review article on this topic. A second Harvard Business Review article appeared in 2021.
