Speaker
Deborah Ancona is the Seley Distinguished Professor of Management, a Professor of Organization Studies, and the Founder of the MIT Leadership Center at the MIT Sloan School of Management. She is the author of the book X-Teams: How to Build Teams That Lead, Innovate, and Succeed (Harvard Business School Press).

Her pioneering research into how successful teams operate has highlighted the critical importance of managing outside, as well as inside, the team’s boundary. This research directly led to the concept of xTEAMS as a vehicle for driving innovation within large organizations. Ancona’s work also focuses on the concept of nimble and on the development of research-based tools, practices, and teaching/coaching models that enable organizations to foster creative leadership at every level.

Ancona holds a BA and an MS in psychology from the University of Pennsylvania and a PhD in management from Columbia University.
