How to influence people's feelings (part 2) | Original Thinking Podcast

How do we connect with others around us and build strong working relationships? How do we boost morale and motivation or stimulate people to fight for social justice?

Karen’s event was so engaging that we ran out of time during the event for her to answer the many questions posed to her, so she kindly agreed to follow up on these after the event. This allowed her to delve even deeper into the subject in this interview.

In this podcast, Karen Niven, Professor of Organisational Psychology at Alliance MBS, will argue that the key to achieving these goals is shaping other people’s feelings. She will provide an overview of her research programme on this topic of ‘interpersonal emotion regulation’, considering how and why we strategically influence the feelings of those around us and the effects of doing so on people’s working lives.
