We started our meeting schedule for 2001 with a talk from an expert in group-leader dynamics . Dr. Christine Truhe of the WorkLife Institute, who is also Director of the Career Psychology Program at Rutgers University. Dr. Truhe shared with us an insider's account of how organizational psychology can benefit any business.
Productivity increases dramatically when people share information instead of hoarding it.
When you help to create a consensus about the work that needs to be done, you are empowering your group to be more productive than ever before. Dr. Truhe welcomed participation throughout her talk. This was a learning experience in itself. The group thanked Dr. Truhe with warm applause. This is a huge event that Philadelphia has sponsored for many years, with excellent workshops, software demonstrations, and many recruiters looking for resumes.
