Dan McCarthy on Job References

Dan McCarthy over at The Great Leadership Blog has a thought-provoking post on the issue of references that are requested and/or provided when people search for employment. The post comes with a terrific Scott Adams cartoon as well!

About Me

I am the Trustee Professor of Management at Bryant University in Smithfield, RI. I joined the faculty after serving for six years on the faculty at Harvard Business School.

My research, teaching, and consulting focuses on leadership, with a particular emphasis on decision-making and teams. I have published two books based upon my research: Why Great Leaders Don't Take Yes For An Answer (2nd edition to be released in May 2013), and Know What You Don't Know (2009).
