About Me

Kyle Brykman, Professor of Management

I’m an Associate Professor of Management at the University of Windsor’s Odette School of Business, where I study the conditions that enable organizations to thrive, employees to flourish, and teams to perform at their best.

My research on psychological safety, voice, resilience, conflict, and mental health at work has been published in the world’s leading organizational behavior journals, including the Journal of Organizational Behavior and Organizational Behavior and Human Decision Processes. My work has also been featured in Forbes, the BBC, and other major media outlets.

I’ve built an active, externally funded research program since joining Odette in 2018, securing over $100,000 in competitive research grants. I’m also an award-winning educator, recognized as Professor of the Year at Odette, and known for my engaging teaching style and my ability to make complex research immediately accessible.

I hold a PhD in Organizational Behavior from Queen’s University, an MSc in Organizational Behavior and Human Resources from Wilfrid Laurier University, and an HBA from the Ivey School of Business. I’m also a Certified Leadership Coach and member of the Management and Organizational Behavior Teaching Society.

My mission is to help people lead more effective, healthy, and meaningful lives at work — through rigorous research, thoughtful teaching, and the occasional evidence-based insight that actually sticks.

For organizations interested in team development, leadership coaching, or workshops, I work through The Science of Teams, my applied consulting practice.
