Scott Tannenbaum Biography
Dr. Scott Tannenbaum is a recognized authority in team effectiveness and organizational psychology. He serves as president of The Group for Organizational Effectiveness, a consulting and research firm he co-founded. Tannenbaum holds a doctorate in industrial and organizational psychology, with expertise in team effectiveness, learning, and organizational change. He is a former tenured business school professor, and his research has been cited more than 26,000 times.
Tannenbaum has led The Group for Organizational Effectiveness in supporting over 600 organizations worldwide, including more than 75 Fortune and Global 1000 companies, focusing on teamwork, learning, and organizational change. For more than 35 years, he has advised, coached, and conducted research on a wide range of teams, including corporate, medical, and military teams, as well as specialized groups such as smoke jumpers, deep sea dive teams, cancer care teams, and aerospace crews. His experience extends to teams operating in high-risk environments, including oil rigs, firefighting, surgery, undersea exploration, combat, cancer treatment, rugby, and space mission preparation.
Tannenbaum's work integrates academic research with practical organizational applications. He has identified a gap between the value organizations place on teamwork and the actual performance of teams, noting that many organizations equate teamwork with interpersonal harmony rather than linking it to employee performance and business outcomes. His research and consulting provide evidence-based frameworks to help leaders and organizations enhance team performance. Tannenbaum co-authored the book "Teams That Work," published by Oxford University Press, which was a finalist for the George R. Terry Book of the Year Award.

He has received the Joseph McGrath Award from INGRoup and the Distinguished Professional Contributions Award from the Society for Industrial and Organizational Psychology for his contributions to team effectiveness.
