Neeli Bendapudi may have spent the past few years in Kansas, but she can still list of many of Central Ohio's top business leaders by nickname. The former Fisher faculty member was named this month as the new president of the University of Louisville.

Reseach by Isil Erel and Michael Weisbach examines whether advances in machine learning that have led to innovations ranging from facial recognition software to self-driving cars could also improve corporate governance.

Research by Fisher's Jasmine Hu and Kaifeng Jiang examines whether humble leaders make more effective leaders and whether their teams have better outcomes.

The Fisher Leadership Initiative (FLI) has launched Lead Read Today, a new platform dedicated to advancing the study and practice of principled leadership.

“One thing we’ve learned from social-psychological research in the last 10 or 15 years is that when we make decisions about people — when we evaluate others — we have biases that carry a lot of history that we don’t consciously process or recognize,” according to Fisher's Timothy A.

Fisher College of Business students worked on a semester-long clean energy choice project alongside the Ohio Environmental Council to help consumers understand sustainable energy choices and choose a renewable energy supplier.

Decades’ worth of studies have shown that similarity attracts—a phenomenon known as homophily. Our research focuses on a specific aspect of this: That being one’s true self, disclosing elements of one’s personal life, and forming social connections are easier within one’s own group than they are across a demographic boundary such as racial background.

Highlighting the exciting work that is being conducted around principled leadership at Fisher, the college recently met with alumni and friends in Naples, Florida, as part of its annual Winter College event.

Fisher is burgeoning with emerging leaders, many of whom recently worked to make the college’s day of service into something truly exceptional. C.J. Stover and Brady Ellis were among those students who helped shape Fisher Impact Day, an event in which more than 880 members of the Fisher community dispersed across campus and throughout central Ohio to serve various organizations.

Researchers studying workplaces in China found that some real-life teams showed more creativity if the employees rated their bosses as showing more humility. Humble leaders are most effective when team members expect a low degree of distance between the leaders and followers, according to Fisher's Jasmine Hu.

Whether creating care packages for servicemembers overseas, making no-sew blankets for sick and disadvantaged children or beautifying parts of Columbus, hundreds of Fisher students, faculty and staff spent the Veterans Day holiday serving the community as part of Fisher Impact Day.

Here’s something both you and your boss can agree on: Workplace teams are better when they include your friends. Fisher's Robert Lount and his colleagues analyzed the results of 26 different studies and found that teams composed of friends performed better on some tasks than groups of acquaintances or strangers.

Few people are just one person at work. You may be both a manager and an employee. Or you may be a salesperson who represents two very different brands. Now a new study suggests that how you juggle those different work identities may affect your job performance.
