She teaches across several programs at the Ross School, in the Leading Women Executives program of the Corporate Leadership Center, and for various companies.
Sue is an award-winning scholar, having published papers in the fields’ best journals in the areas of leadership development and leader effectiveness, middle management voice and issue selling, job insecurity, and individual proactivity (e.g., self-management and feedback seeking).
