Associate Professor of Management at Belk College of Business
Biography
Belk College of Business
Dr. Gooty’s work is in the area of relationships and managing emotions in the leadership space. Her work shows that building and maintaining relationships is at the core of all leadership functions. Further, she posits and finds empirical support for the position that leaders are active managers of not only their own emotions but also employee and team’s emotions in the workplace which could be leveraged for competitive advantage.
Dr. Gooty’s research in relationships and emotions suggests that old, mechanistic ways of conceptualizing leadership as task oriented might be outdated. Indeed, her current and future work is focused on understanding and leveraging how women and traditionally underrepresented groups in leadership positions have a natural edge in the key skills of building relational capital and emotional agility for organizations. Dr. Gooty serves in leadership roles in academia and has worked with a variety of industries with a majority of her consulting work in law enforcement agencies.
