What do you do when you face rejection at work? Do you mentally check out or complain to your inner circle, or do you take it in stride? Imagine if rejection didn't ruin our workplace experience or harm our motivation. Dr. Kristin Scott is a management professor and the director of the Executive Leadership PhD Program at Clemson University. Her research focuses on workplace dynamics, including employee motivation and workplace exclusion. She uncovers what makes offices functional (and dysfunctional), then provides evidence-based strategies that can help you thrive at work. In my conversation with Kristin, we talk about how to handle workplace dysfunction, the qualities of effective workplace leaders, and the importance of hopefulness when we face rejection.
