Professional Foci in Research, Teaching & Intervention
My primary focus is on persons, teams and organizations as they encounter the adjustment, performance and motivation challenges of what I call "strange lands"-- novel and rapidly changing ecologies characterized by new people, places, cultures and technologies. I am particularly interested in the experiences these challenges produce, the strategies developed to deal with them, and the communication and other skills required to implement the strategies effectively. Over the years I have applied this focus in research, teaching and intervention activities to contexts such as global assignments in business and government, our diverse, rapidly changing workplaces and communities at home, geographically dispersed teams, distance learning, knowledge creation and transfer, criminal justice, service delivery, and close relationships such as marriage. Most recently my emphases have been on coaching teams, managers and leaders to deal effectively with intercultural and global diversity and on self-organization and swarm optimization models of globalization in multinational enterprises.
More generally my focus is on social psychology and communication and applications to intercultural interaction, organizational management, team building, decision making, problem solving, stress management, and the development of social support.
