Welcome to my research blog as I work on my Doctorate in Business Administration
My blog is meant to express the additional research avenues while working on my dissertation toward my DBA degree. I hope to become Dr. Stephanie Diana Eubank DBA or, as my family (my Big Bear and my Baby Bears), Dr. Bear lovingly calls me.
Since starting this blog, I have started my own consulting firm Wicked B of The West, to help companies cultivate their remote teams and the leaders that work with them. If interested, please check out my social media at:

Latest from the Blog
Toxic Leadership: The Hidden Costs to Organizations
Organizations that tolerate abusive leaders prioritize performance over employee well-being, damaging trust and engagement. This results in high turnover, increased legal risks, and decreased productivity. To improve workplace culture, companies should hold leaders accountable, provide reporting channels, and promote psychological safety, ultimately enhancing retention and morale.
Building High-Performing Teams in Remote Work
Dr. Stephanie Diana Eubank’s research highlights that organizations often prioritize technical expertise over intentional team design, leading to the Apollo Effect, where teams underperform due to poor collaboration. Successful teams require diverse roles and strong communication. Her book addresses these issues, advocating for sustainable team structures in both remote and in-person environments.
Why Expertise Alone Fails in Remote Collaboration
Organizations often misstep by assembling remote teams of highly skilled experts, mistakenly believing that expertise ensures success. The Apollo Effect highlights how such teams can falter due to individual competition, lack of collaboration, and poor communication. Effective remote teamwork requires intentional communication, documentation, and a focus on collective goals to enhance productivity and retention.
