Reb Rebele - Leadership: The Pursuit of Greatness and Goodness
Legendary leaders, as Sherman noted, have to be good and great. They must do what is right…and whatever it takes to succeed. Yet greatness and goodness can often seem at odds. Can organizations pursue both performance and purpose? Can individuals give and get ahead? Recent research suggests the answer is, “Yes…but it depends.”
Robert "Reb" Rebele is a consultant and educator with the University of Pennsylvania and the International Positive Psychology Association (IPPA), as well as a range of corporate, technology, non-profit, and educational organizations. Reb frequently collaborates with Dr. Adam Grant of the Wharton School on research and consulting projects related to employee motivation, reciprocity styles, and helping behaviors in the workplace.
