SOM Faculty Member Deborah Kolb Quoted in “A bug’s life in a dog-eat-dog world”

Professor Deborah Kolb is quoted extensively in this article on theglobeandmail.com about the professional dilemma workers experience when a co-worker takes credit for their work. "There are always good reasons," says Deborah Kolb, the Deloitte Ellen Gabriel professor for women and leadership at the Simmons School of Management and an expert in negotiation. That's how you get the conversation going. "You want to keep a space for their viewpoint, for their story. Only when you lend your colleague's viewpoint some legitimacy can you ask for what you want."
