Richard Boyatzis - Part 1

Join us on Be Brave at Work for our conversation with Richard Boyatzis. Richard is a Distinguished University Professor of Case Western Reserve University, Professor in the Departments of Organizational Behavior, Psychology, and Cognitive Science. He has a BS in Aeronautics and Astronautics from MIT, a MS and Ph.D. in Social Psychology from Harvard University.

Using his Intentional Change Theory (ICT), he studies sustained, desired change at all levels of human endeavor from individuals to country change. He began research on helping and coaching in 1967, and began coaching executives in 1969. About thirty years ago, he launched a series of longitudinal studies on coaching, followed by three fMRI and two hormonal studies of coaching processes that are more effective in helping people be open to change than typical approaches.

Based on his work which was begun in 1970 as one of the founders of the competency movement in HR, he has launched several landmark research on the competencies of coaches that predict client change. He is the author of more than 200 scholarly articles and 75 practitioner articles on leadership, competencies, emotional intelligence, competency development, coaching, neuroscience and management education. His Coursera MOOCs on leadership, emotional intelligence and coaching have over one and a half million visitors and enrolled from 215 countries.

His 9 books include: The Competent Manager; the international best-seller, Primal Leadership with Daniel Goleman and Annie McKee; and Resonant Leadership, with Annie McKee, and Helping People Change: Coaching with Compassion or Lifelong Learning and Growth with Melvin Smith and Ellen Van Oosten. He is Fellow of the Association of Psychological Science, the Society of Industrial and Organizational Psychology, and the American Psychological Association.
