Abstract

The past decade will be remembered by business historians for unprecedented destruction. Billion-dollar Wall Street darlings have vanished. Corruption and poor decisions about risk hurt employees, clients, and shareholders. As an Industrial-Organizational Psychologist, I have always been interested in how people and companies create value. Earlier, I studied many organizational sciences’ approaches to value creation including Industrial/Systems Engineering, Finance, and Strategy. I traced developments in positive organizational behavior for high-functioning people, especially leaders. But it was new for many, including me, to watch in horror as billions of dollars were obliterated.
