The series will kick off by discussing a paper that is consistently one of the top cited papers in Human Factors:  Salas, Grossman, Hughes, & Coultas's Measuring Team Cohesion: Observations from the Science.  Rebecca Grossman, Associate Professor of Industrial-Organizational Psychology, Hofstra University, will share information regarding the paper and Christy Harper, Co-Owner and Managing Partner of End-to-End Research, will discuss challenges of managing teams and needs for measuring team cohesion.

The webinar will be more conversational and input and questions from attendees will be encouraged throughout. So whether you’re a scientist, practitioner, or some of both, a come with your questions and comments! Let’s learn from these two great minds and from each other!!!
