Dr. Selina Stracke is an Organizational Psychologist with a PhD from the TUM School of Management. She completed her dissertation in December 2022 at the Chair of Research and Science Management, titled “Teams in the (New) World of Work: How Teams (In)effectively Handle Adversity in the Dynamic World of Work.”

 She is currently a Leadership Development Expert at the TUM Institute for Lifelong Learning, where she designs and delivers evidence-based learning formats to empower (academic) leaders and teams in an evolving work landscape. In this role, she focuses on enhancing psychological safety, promoting values-driven leadership, and strengthening team dynamics across professional and academic contexts.

Her academic and professional work centers on team processes, leadership, and adaptation in the digital age, with a particular interest in how teams navigate uncertainty, stress, and complexity. Her research has examined both functional behaviors (e.g., team adaptation) and dysfunctional ones (e.g., collective rumination), as well as how embodied signals shape team interaction and performance.

As a self-employed Leadership & Performance coach, Dr. Stracke regularly coaches (upcoming) leaders and facilitates workshops and trainings. She combines scientific insight with practical tools to support inclusive, high-performing, and psychologically safe leadership and team development.
