Gossip is Good for You

Adrian Furnham

A chapter in Management Intelligence, 2008, pp 100-101 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract A gossip is a person who habitually reveals unusual, sensational, or hidden facts about other people: their motives, lifestyles, personal preferences. Gossip columnists are well-read, if not respected. To be labeled an “office gossip” is clearly pejorative. It is to be untrustworthy, to be “political” and to be potentially dangerous.
