http://www.psych.nyu.edu/events/colloquia.html Weblink of the week Be a Better Manager: live abroad According to research carried out by professors William W. Maddux, Adam D. Galinsky, and Carmit T. Tadmor and published in Harvard Business Review
“Be a Better Manager: Live Abroad” people who are international or have more than one nationality benefit from it in many ways. Bicultural individuals scored higher than monoculturals on the different tests carried out which, as the professors put it, is good for companies. That’s not saying that monocultural people don’t have the qualities tested, merely that being international further develop those qualities in an individual. There are also, in my opinion, other ways for monocultural people that are open minded and curious to broaden their mind, be more flexible and hence increase their creativity. The comments to the HBR article agree or disagree depending on if the person has lived abroad or not.
Getting the most out of living abroad: biculturalism and integrative complexity as key drivers of creative and professional success.
