Prior to taking his current job in January 2008, Earley was dean of the National University of Singapore Business School, chair of organizational behavior at London Business School in England, and Randall L. Tobias Chair of Global Leadership at Indiana University's Kelley School of Business.
Earley previously held visiting professorships at universities in China, Thailand, Hong Kong, the Czech Republic and Israel.
