Richard Hackman conducts research on a variety of topics in social and organizational psychology, including team dynamics and performance, leadership effectiveness, and the design of self-managing teams and organizations.
His book "Leading Teams: Setting the Stage for Great Performances," won the Academy of Management's Terry Award in 2004 for the most outstanding management book of the year. A new book, "Senior Leadership Teams: What It Takes to Make Them Great" (with Ruth Wageman, Debra Nunes, and James Burruss), was published in January, 2008.
A native of central Illinois, Hackman received his undergraduate degree in mathematics from MacMurray College in 1962 and his doctorate in social psychology from the University of Illinois in 1966. He taught at Yale until 1986, when he moved to his present position at Harvard.
