This is a fascinating story of how some questionable research slipped through peer review safeguards of academic publishing and flourished. More importantly, it shows how the scientific community eventually caught it and debunked it. The original results were recalled. Sadly, one of the main perpetrators slipped into murky waters of "business consulting" and continue to sell this snake oil: " Dr. Marcial Losada, has a Ph.D. in Social and Organizational Psychology from the University of Michigan. Dr. Losada was invited to present his work at Cambridge University in England, Harvard Business School, Graduate Business School at the University of Michigan, Sloan School of Management at MIT, Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University, Stanford Research Institute, and Institute for the Future in Menlo Park, California. He presented his findings on applications of nonlinear dynamics to team interaction and productivity at the prestigious Director’s Colloquium in Los Alamos National Laboratory. He has briefed Vice-President Al Gore and the president of MIT, Dr. Charles Vest, on the interaction dynamics of high performance teams." https://www.losadalineconsulting.net/our_team https://www.losadalineconsulting.net/our_team
