About the Author

Charles A. O'Reilly III and Jeffrey Pfeffer are award-winning professors and organizational behavior experts who’ve spent decades decoding what makes companies—and their cultures—resilient, high-performing, and enduring.

Professors at Stanford Graduate School of Business, they’ve advised tech giants, healthcare networks, and global corporations. Pfeffer is the author of “Power: Why Some People Have It and Others Don’t,” while O'Reilly’s research on corporate culture and innovation has helped executives across Silicon Valley thrive through disruption. Their combined body of work has been cited in over 100,000 academic and business publications.

What sets Charles and Jeffrey apart: They expose the hidden forces driving organizational success and show leaders how to harness them with intention.

In their joint teachings and leadership seminars, companies applying their “Culture-Strategy Fit” and “Power Dynamics” models report higher retention, stronger leadership pipelines, and double-digit growth in competitive environments.

The management scientists CEOs turn to when culture isn't a buzzword—but a bottom-line advantage.
