Abstract

How do professionals convince their employers or clients that they’re loyal? New research finds that to give the impression of uncompromising loyalty to their current role, professionals often become contentious and aggressive toward former collaborators. The problem is, such behaviors can hurt the same stakeholders they’re trying to win over.
