Brief Professional biography:
Grant is Associate Professor in Management and Head of the School of Business. Prior to joining the School, Grant lectured at the Australian Graduate School of Police Management and at the University of New South Wales.
Grant's PhD research focused on change management in the NSW public sector under the Premierships of Nick Greiner, and his current research interests centre around culture and management. He is particularly interested in strategy formulation, organisational culture, leadership and values based management. Recent research projects have explored: links between emotional intelligence and work performance at the ANZ Bank; emotional intelligence and work performance across national cultures; links between emotional intelligence and leadership; and, the formation and effects of psychological contracts formed by business school academics. Grant is one of three Chief Investigators on an ongoing three year ARC Linkage Project with Main Roads Western Australia that is exploring corporate values and workplace behaviour.
