    Service with a Smile: Who Benefits Most?

    It's likely you've either worked in a customer facing role or you've been the customer; we imagine for many of you it's both. So then, when service is given with a smile, who benefits most, the employee or the customer? Dan and Akin squeeze some interesting findings that question who's in need of training. - Research Paper: 'Why Does Service with a Smile Make Employees Happy?

    The Positive Effects of ”Feedback-Sharing” on Psychological Safety

    The Positive Effects of ”Feedback-Sharing” on Psychological Safety

    A longer-lasting approach to creating psychological safety is emerging, and it requires leaders to display more vulnerability.

Listen in as Dan and Akin make sense of "feedback-sharing" and its discovered benefits. - Research Paper: 'Taking Your Team Behind the Curtain: The Effects of Leader Feedback-Sharing and Feedback-Seeking on Team Psychological Safety' by Constantinos Coutifaris and Adam Grant

    The Zero-Sum Games of Dominant Leadership

    The Zero-Sum Games of Dominant Leadership

    Dominant leaders work toward getting what they want, even if it's at the expense of others.

Join Dan and Akin as they squeeze the findings of the brand new research paper. - Research Paper: 'The Impact of Leader Dominance on Employees' Zero-Sum Mindset and Helping Behaviour' By Niro Sivanathan and Hemant Kakkar

Becoming a fanboy

Super fun way to engage with social science research. And the way Akin and Dan interact puts a smile on my face from minute one... to the degree that people think I’m disturbed when jogging because I look so deliriously happy. It’s a mix of sitting down with your mates over a pint while having a research lab meeting at the same time. Keep it going guys, please! Am now contemplating how to assign the podcast episodes as part of my own Uni teaching.
