Francesca Gino - Rebel Talent: Why It Pays to Break the Rules at Work and in Life

Francesca Gino is a professor of business administration in the Negotiation, Organizations & Markets Unit at Harvard Business School. I am also formally affiliated with the Program on Negotiation at Harvard Law School, with the Mind, Brain, Behavior Initiative at Harvard, and with the Behavioral Insight Group at Harvard Kennedy School.
She teaches Decision Making and Negotiation in the MBA elective curriculum and in Executive Education programs at the School. She co-chairs an HBS Executive Education program on applying behavioral economics to organizational problems. She also teaches a PhD course on Behavioral Approaches to Decision Making and a PhD course on Experimental Methods.
Her research focuses on judgment and decision-making, negotiation, ethics, motivation, productivity, and creativity. Her work has been published in top academic journals in both psychology and management, as well as in numerous book chapters and practitioner outlets.
Her studies have been featured in The Economist, The New York Times, Newsweek, Scientific American, Psychology Today, and The Wall Street Journal, and her work has been discussed on National Public Radio and CBS Radio.
She has won numerous awards for my teaching, including the HBS Faculty Award by Harvard Business School's MBA Class of 2015, and for her research, including the 2013 Cummings Scholarly Achievement Award, from the Academy of Management Organizational Behavior Division. In 2015, She was chosen by Poets & Quants to be among their "40 under 40", a listing of the world's best business school professors under the age of 40.
In addition to teaching and doing research, She advises firms and not-for-profit organizations in the areas of negotiation, decision-making, leadership and organizational behavior.

Given Professor Gino's recent troubles, perhaps a very appropriate title for the video.

'Why it pays to break the rules at work' Oh boy

[@MiCajaDelIdiota]

"Oh, boy" is right!

[@surfingbilly9654]

good to see a professor that actually puts their words into practice 👏

[@denisdaly1708]

You need to read, read the work of Albert bandora, and on how easily people morally disengage. One way is to use terms like innovate/rule break as an excuse for being unethical.

[@jbnycyoutub]

Let’s call it *very* applied research ;)

[@TheFritz423]

This is so deliciously ironic...

[@hollismallory2757]

I think that if you don’t have standards of behavior that you refuse to compromise, if you don’t have incorruptible values, then you risk treading a slippery slope where you can begin to justify all sorts of pathological behavior

[@monkeeseemonkeedoo3745]

Also, breaking a 2000 year old vase is crap for artistic inspiration. That sounds narcistic af.

[@surfingbilly9654]

well, she wasn't lying 💀

[@kory6897]

How much of this talk did she make up?

[@kayaogz]

Looks like it did not pay well after all for her.

[@Laura_Daniels]

I didn't know behavioral science involves anecdotal cases and studies with very few subjects (like with 100 people or so) to make sweeping conclusions, which can get millions from the university itself and more from giving speeches.

[@denisdaly1708]

My advice is to go back and do an undergrad in psychology. Do your ground work.

[@alpotato6531]

damn this aged well

[@denisdaly1708]

Rule breaking is a predictor of unethical behaviour, Francesco. Enron broke rules, as did Stockton Rush. I can see that you have no psych degrees. It shows that you know little about unethical behaviour. One can be creative, and yet be ethical and stick to rules.

[@d.h.1999]

An academic fraudster arguing for the value of breaking social norms. I'm shocked.

[@JP-kp9kh]

Maybe break the rules a little less?
