Michele Gelfand - Distinguished Professor & Author

July 7, 2020 - My guest is Michele Gelfand, Distinguished University Professor of Psychology at the University of Maryland and author of Rule Makers, Rule Breakers: How Tight and Loose Cultures Wire the World - her groundbreaking book on how different cultural norms can be classified into tight and loose cultures, along with the implications of those norms. In our discussion, we focus on the importance of these classifications for organizational behavior, both in terms of resiliency and innovation as well as the impact of threat on cultural tendencies. For board members and executives governing the long-term success of their organizations, Michele's findings are essential knowledge. You can also find more about Michele's innovative research on her website.

David R. Koenig, President and CEO of the DCRO Institute, and the author of the books Governance Reimagined and The Board Member‘s Guide to Risk, speaks with active board members and senior executives about their experiences and the most effective approaches to governing risk.
