Office Hours with Jeff DeGraff is a video series where the Dean of Innovation interviews though leaders on the broad subject of innovation. These thought leaders come from various background but all share insight from their personal and professional experience that can be adapted to foster innovation either in a business setting or in your personal lives. In this first episode, Jeff interviews Andy Molinsky (http://www.andymolinsky.com), a Professor at Brandeis University’s International Business School. Andy received his Ph.D. in Organizational Behavior and M.A. in Psychology from Harvard University. He authored Global Dexterity and Reach. As Andy is an expert in cross-cultural matters, the conversation naturally revolves around the concept of global dexterity and how we can become better at adapting to new cultures.
