About Dr. Sam Weissrock

I am an organizational psychologist, educator, and healthcare transformation leader with a career spanning higher education, healthcare systems, and complex organizations. My work focuses on how people experience work, how meaning is created inside organizations, and how leadership, language, and systems shape performance, equity, and sustainability.

I hold a PhD in Industrial–Organizational Psychology and have taught across undergraduate, graduate, and professional programs, with particular emphasis on healthcare systems, economics, leadership, and organizational behavior. My academic interests include leadership, organizational culture, and the role of language and expectations in shaping individual and collective outcomes.

In applied settings, my experience includes large-scale organizational transformation, population health strategy, and enterprise initiatives within healthcare and human services organizations. This work has required navigating complexity across disciplines, roles, and stakeholder groups while maintaining a focus on human impact, ethical decision-making, and long-term system effectiveness.

This site serves as a professional portfolio and writing space. It brings together my academic background, applied experience, and ongoing thinking about organizations, leadership, and human behavior at work. The views expressed here reflect my professional perspective and scholarly training rather than institutional positions.

Current Work

Teaching, scholarship, and applied leadership work focused on organizational psychology, healthcare systems, and leadership development.
