Erin Meyer

Erin Meyer is an INSEAD professor and management thinker whose work centers on cross-cultural communication, leadership, and organizational culture in global business. She wrote the international bestseller The Culture Map and coauthored No Rules Rules with Reed Hastings, an instant New York Times bestseller shortlisted for the FT Book of the Year award.

传记与作者历程

Erin Meyer built her body of work by turning cross-cultural ambiguity into something managers could see, name, and use. An American professor at INSEAD, she has described how living and working in Africa, Europe, and the United States pushed her to study the hidden patterns behind communication, trust, decision-making, and leadership across borders. Early in her career she taught English in Botswana as a Peace Corps volunteer and later worked with Asian immigrants in the United States. Before academia became her main public platform, she held management roles at McKesson and HBOC; in an early INSEAD essay, she also reflected on the leadership assumptions she had absorbed while earning her MBA.
