Tony Simons

Professor Tony Simons teaches organizational behavior, negotiation, and leadership at the Cornell Nolan School of Hotel Administration. His research examines trust: employee trust in leaders, executive team member trust, and trust in supply chain relationships. Professor Simons’s research has focused on how well people are seen as keeping their word by delivering on their promises and living espoused values. This simple perception has huge practical consequences and is challenging to maintain impeccably. Professor Simons’s research and consulting work supports managers in meeting this challenge. He speaks, trains, consults, and designs surveys for organizations both within and beyond the hospitality industry.
