Dr. Nicole Abi-Esber is an Assistant Professor of Organizational Behavior at LSE's Department of Management. She holds a PhD from Harvard Business School and researches psychological safety, feedback dynamics, and leader communication strategies using experimental methods and NLP. Her work examines how leaders create environments where employees feel safe speaking up, with emphasis on conversation patterns, nonverbal cues, and feedback misconceptions. Key findings demonstrate systematic underestimation of others' desire for constructive feedback and leader eye contact's role in promoting participation. Publications in Journal of Personality and Social Psychology reveal how disclosure norms differ in dyadic vs group settings and cognitive barriers to feedback exchange. Research combines lab experiments with computational analysis of conversational patterns. Honors include Harvard's Distinguished Teaching Award and Psychology of Technology Dissertation Award. Work featured in New York Times and Forbes for insights on workplace criticism and failure disclosure. Developed open-source tools including the Leader Emails Paradigm for studying managerial communication and eye-tracking protocols for group interaction analysis. Teaches organizational behavior with focus on psychological safety frameworks.
