Background

About Francesca Gino

I help senior leaders turn ambition into results by applying behavioral science to real organizational problems, including AI adoption that actually changes how work gets done, strategy that cascades past the top team, and leadership groups that operate as one.I was on the faculty of Harvard Business School for 15 years, teaching Leadership, Negotiation, and Collaboration, and served as department head of the Negotiation, Organization & Markets unit for five. I am the bestselling author of "Rebel Talent: Why it Pays to Break the Rules in Work and Life" and have written more than 200 articles and cases on how people and teams actually behave at work. I have been recognized by Thinkers50 as one of the world's 50 most influential management thinkers and by Poets & Quants as a top-40 business professor under 40.I am also the first person in Harvard's history to have my tenure revoked, following accusations of research misconduct that I deny and am contesting in court. My account is at theginocase.infoToday, through my private practice, I work directly with leaders and senior teams navigating complexity, growth, and high-stakes change. The work draws on what I taught and studied for over two decades and on what I have learned about resilience, judgment under pressure, and organizational dynamics in the years since.
