DR SIMON MOSS

Monash University, Zenith Professional Development, Australia

Dr Simon Moss is a senior lecturer in the School of Psychology, Psychiatry, and Psychological Medicine at Monash University. His primary research interest concerns how characteristics of organizations and societies, such as leadership, influence the psychological processes of individuals, such as their mood, creativity, intuition, engagement, honesty, and altruism. To investigate these issues, he has published a broad range of articles in the fields of leadership, personality, motivation, integrity, perception, attention, and stress. He is an author of “The Science of Management: Fighting fads and fallacies with evidence-based practices”. He also presents lectures and tutorials in multivariate statistics and mathematical modeling.

Dr Moss is also a cofounder of Zenith Professional Development, a company that has collated every scientific discovery that contradicts prevailing management beliefs and practices. Using this database, he has developed a tool that identifies misconceptions in management. In addition, he has presented training programs to all levels of management—across a broad range of industries—that are designed to redress these misconceptions.

Dr Moss has also been employed as a consultant in other organisations, such as The Empower Group, especially in the fields of workplace assessment and operational planning.
