I am an associate professor of organizational behavior at Stanford University's Graduate School of Business. As a researcher, I am interested in the subject of social influence, particularly how people can obtain help from one another and how they can develop healthy patterns of cooperation. Although much of what I study is relevant to general forms of interpersonal interaction, I am particularly interested in how people cooperate with their colleagues at work. The links provided on the left will steer you toward some of my published articles and describe some of the research I am currently conducting.

At Stanford, I also teach a core course in organizational behavior. You can find a description of this course by selecting the “Classes” link on the left.
