Birth Date: January, 1946. Citizenship:

Married with 3 children.
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.
