Joe’s research on human behavior within healthcare and what we seem to know about how human behavior contributes to patient safety and other meaningful outcomes.
-
How Joe’s research also helps us understand more about communication and its importance in creating adaptive, resilient teams and organizations.
-
What implications these areas of research have for leaders and those around them.
