Episode 56: Inclusive Culture on Hybrid Teams

WiseTalk

Sue Bethanis hosts Dr. Stefanie K. Johnson, Associate Professor of Management at the Leeds School of Business, University of Colorado Boulder. She holds a Ph.D. from Rice University and is particularly interested in the effects of unconscious biases in the evaluation of women and minorities to find ways to mitigate those biases. She is the author of Inclusify: The Power of Uniqueness and Belonging to Build Innovative Teams, an award-winning and groundbreaking guide, outlining the transformative leadership skill of tomorrow—one that can make it possible to build truly diverse and inclusive teams which value employees’ needs to belong while being themselves.
Dr. Johnson brings bias to light with an engaging and humorous approach to advanced scientific research, which has earned her numerous accolades and invitations to present her work at meetings around the world, including the White House for a 2016 summit on diversity in corporate America on National Equal Pay Day, and the 2016 Harvard Negotiation and Leadership Conference. She has published over 70 journal articles and book chapters in outlets such as Harvard Business Review, Journal of Applied Psychology, and The Academy of Management Journal. She has extensive consulting experience and has created and delivered leadership-development training with an emphasis on evidence-based practice. In recognition of her unique research, Dr. Johnson has been awarded nearly three million dollars in external funding to study leadership and create leadership development programs aimed at increasing safety. Media outlets featuring her work include The Economist, Newsweek, Time, and CNN.
