David Bradford Ph.D. and Carole Robin Ph.D. taught interpersonal skills to MBA candidates for a combined seventy-five years in their legendary Stanford Graduate School of Business course Interpersonal Dynamics (affectionately known to generations of students as “Touchy-Feely”) and have coached and consulted to hundreds of executives for decades.
