Behavioral scientist Alison Wood Brooks shares ten open-ended questions designed to make people more likable by encouraging vulnerability and self-disclosure, based on research from Harvard Business School and psychologist Arthur Aron.
Harvard Business School professor Alison Wood Brooks has shared a set of ten open-ended questions designed to make individuals more likable in social interactions. These questions, adapted from psychologist Arthur Aron's famous 36 questions that foster romantic connection, are intended to help people build rapport in professional and casual settings. Brooks argues that asking thoughtful questions is more effective than trying to impress others with wit or accomplishments. The strategy relies on the psychological principle of reciprocal liking, where showing genuine interest in others makes them more receptive to you.
Harvard Business School has launched 'HBS Foundry,' an eight-week, $699 online bootcamp that uses AI avatars of faculty members to coach aspiring entrepreneurs. The program, available through over 100 university partners across the US, allows founders to practice investor pitches and refine business strategies 24/7. While the AI instructors are designed to provide harsh, critical feedback rather than generic praise, participants report valuing the human connections facilitated by the platform's forums and live sessions.

Harvard University has revoked the tenure of Professor Francesca Gino at Harvard Business School following allegations of research misconduct and an investigation that concluded she was responsible for data fabrication, marking the first time Harvard has stripped a tenured faculty member of tenure since the 1940s. Gino denies the allegations, and her case is ongoing with a lawsuit against Harvard.
Francesco Gino, a leading scholar on honesty and a behavioral scientist at Harvard Business School, has been accused of fabricating data in multiple studies by three peers in behavioral science. The trio has found evidence of bogus data in four studies and believes that many more Gino-authored papers contain fake data. Gino is now on administrative leave and has not commented on the controversy. The controversy has rocked the academic world of behavioral science because Gino has many collaborators and is a leading scholar in the field.
