Hello, I\u2019m Dr. Erik Bean and I am pleased to serve as Professor of Practice for the PhD in Global Leadership program here at Indiana Tech. The latter bulk of my career has spanned teaching and administrative roles in higher and secondary education as well as several journalistic efforts including serving as a section editor of a John Wiley & Sons leadership journal, an editor of a minority newspaper, and reporter. I have also written award-winning academic book titles in curriculum, media literacy, and self-leadership. I began facilitating classes online during its infancy in the late 1990s. Concurrently, I was a technical writer for the Big Three Detroit automakers and I also ghost wrote a groundbreaking ISO\/QS9000 quality procedure book. My specialization was marketing communications and later customer experience (CX), and I also held a web front end creator partnership. More recently, I was selected as a First-Place recipient of the 2022 Henry Ford Innovation Nation annual contest for creating information literacy curriculum used in community college and library settings. Today, I am the Michigan Chapter Leader, Media Literacy Now. I also am a founder of a Michigan 501(c)3 mental health nonprofit. My number one priority is to help all those connected to our program achieve their professional goals so they can lead a global conversation as a change agent the world over.<\/em><\/p> <\/div>\n \n \n Greetings from Dr. Bean <\/span>\n \n Close <\/span>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n \n ![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.indianatech.edu\/doctoral\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/76\/headshot-200x300.png\")

Greetings! I have been teaching at Indiana Tech since 2016, focusing on global leadership development, global talent management, and international leadership research courses. During this time, I have also served on numerous dissertation committees and have led global practicums. I genuinely enjoy the close working relationships we are able to build with students and our focus on excellence in academics and professional practice. I am a proud recipient of the Faculty of the Year award in 2019 and 2021 for the Ph.D. program.<\/p>\n
My full-time role outside of Indiana Tech is serving as a Director of Leadership Strategy for Accenture. My role allows me to provide executive assessment, strategic leadership advisement and coaching to senior executives and their teams within leading corporations around the world. My career background is in corporate leadership development and talent management within Fortune 500 organizations, as an external consulting partner to them, and as an executive education partner at universities. I have worked with diverse audiences in North America, South America, Asia, the Middle East, Africa and Australia.\u00a0 I have depth of experience in Latin America, having studied and worked in Spain, Argentina, Chile, Mexico and Peru. I\u2019ve also held several faculty roles in global leadership Ph.D. programs and graduate business leadership programs. My Ph.D. research focus was in global leadership development methods. After graduating from University of Denver, my post-doctoral fellowship was at Thunderbird School of Global Management in the Najafi Global Mindset Institute, where I worked alongside world-renowned professors and researchers in Global Mindset.<\/p>\n
My research tends to focus on global leadership development and cross-cultural management.\u00a0 I frequently present my research at academic and professional conferences (ILA, AOM, SHRM, ATD, HCI, etc.) and in publications (Journal of Management Education, Advances in Global Leadership, HR People & Strategy Journal, SHRM We Know Next, Inside HR Magazine, etc.). I have co-authored three books:\u00a0Developing Your Global Mindset: The Handbook for Successful Global Leaders; Teaching Methods in Business: Experiential Exercises in the Classroom; and Handbook of International and Cross-Cultural Leadership Research.\u00a0Current research activities include serving as a CCI for the GLOBE U.S.A. research team, exploring the effectiveness of international immersion experiences for global leadership development, and examining the motivations, obstacles and success strategies of women leaders.<\/p> <\/div>\n \n \n Greetings from Dr. Walker <\/span>\n \n Close <\/span>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n \n <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

I have been teaching at Indiana Tech since 2016, focusing on global leadership development, global talent management, and international leadership research courses. During this time, I have also served on numerous dissertation committees and have led global practicums. I genuinely enjoy the close working relationships we are able to build with students and our focus on excellence in academics and professional practice. I am a proud recipient of the Faculty of the Year award in 2019 and 2021 for the Ph.D. program.<\/p>\n My full-time role outside of Indiana Tech is serving as a Director of Leadership Strategy for Accenture. My role allows me to provide executive assessment, strategic leadership advisement and coaching to senior executives and their teams within leading corporations around the world. My career background is in corporate leadership development and talent management within Fortune 500 organizations, as an external consulting partner to them, and as an executive education partner at universities. I have worked with diverse audiences in North America, South America, Asia, the Middle East, Africa and Australia.\u00a0 I have depth of experience in Latin America, having studied and worked in Spain, Argentina, Chile, Mexico and Peru. I\u2019ve also held several faculty roles in global leadership Ph.D. programs and graduate business leadership programs. My Ph.D. research focus was in global leadership development methods. After graduating from University of Denver, my post-doctoral fellowship was at Thunderbird School of Global Management in the Najafi Global Mindset Institute, where I worked alongside world-renowned professors and researchers in Global Mindset.<\/p>\n My research tends to focus on global leadership development and cross-cultural management.\u00a0 I frequently present my research at academic and professional conferences (ILA, AOM, SHRM, ATD, HCI, etc.) and in publications (Journal of Management Education, Advances in Global Leadership, HR People & Strategy Journal, SHRM We Know Next, Inside HR Magazine, etc.). I have co-authored three books:\u00a0Developing Your Global Mindset: The Handbook for Successful Global Leaders; Teaching Methods in Business: Experiential Exercises in the Classroom; and Handbook of International and Cross-Cultural Leadership Research.\u00a0Current research activities include serving as a CCI for the GLOBE U.S.A. research team, exploring the effectiveness of international immersion experiences for global leadership development, and examining the motivations, obstacles and success strategies of women leaders.<\/p> <\/div>\n \n \n Greetings from Dr. Walker <\/span>\n \n Close <\/span>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n \n <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
