Enlightening Scholars to Advance Leadership Research: A Mentoring Session

Scheduled: Saturday, Aug 13 2011 5:30PM - 7:30PM at Grand Hyatt in Presidio A

This Academy of Management PDW provides students and junior faculty the opportunity to discuss their leadership research in an informal, collegial, roundtable setting with prominent leadership scholars. Based on their proposed research theory and methods, the junior scholars will be matched with a more senior scholar with similar research interests (not from their home university). At the workshop, the senior scholar will discuss research proposals submitted by the junior scholars, providing insights and suggestions for future research directions. This year, in addition to individual research projects, we also welcome team research projects.

The senior leadership scholars (all members of The Leadership Quarterly Editorial Board) who will be mentoring the junior scholars are: Leanne Atwater (Senior Editor), Kevin Lowe (Associate Editor), Mary Uhl-Bien, Bruce Avolio, Claudia Cogliser, William Gardner, Chet Schriesheim (Associate Editor), & Ron Riggio (Associate Editor).

The focus will be on developing theoretical foundations and designing high quality empirical studies. This is a great opportunity for the junior scholars to develop their ideas, and may even lead to future academic collaborations. This PDW is one of the few sessions at the conference which will give people a venue to get direct feedback on their work in progress. It is not suited for participants with completed research projects, or data already collected.

The most promising research proposal will receive an award, generously sponsored by the C.T. Bauer College of Business, Department of Management, University of Houston. The recipient of the Best Proposal Award ($100 check) will be determined by the PDW organizer Dr Marie Dasborough and the Leadership Quarterly Senior Editor, Professor Leanne Atwater.

·         Participants must submit a research proposal to Dr. Marie Dasborough by June 1, 2011 (m.dasborough@miami.edu) before registering for this PDW online. In the email submission, participants should indicate if they are a doctoral student or junior faculty member.

Sheraton Grand Chicago - Mayfair

This Academy of Management session provides students and junior faculty the opportunity to discuss their leadership research in an informal and collegial setting with prominent leadership scholars. Based on their proposed research theory and methods, the junior scholars will be matched with a more senior scholar with similar research interests (not from their home university). At the session, the senior scholars will discuss research proposals submitted prior to the conference by the junior scholars, providing insights and suggestions for future research directions.

The senior leadership scholars (editors and editorial board members of our major journals) who will be mentoring the junior scholars are:

·         Antonakis, John

·         Atwater, Leanne

·         Cogliser, Claudia

·         Cole, Michael

·         Dionne, Shelley

·         Schriesheim, Chet

·         Sully de Luque, Mary

·         Uhl-Bien, Mary

·         Yammarino, Fran

·         Yukl, Gary

The focus of the session will be on developing theoretical foundations and designing high quality empirical studies. We promote use of various methods that would benefit from collaborations with other scholars; e.g., multiple comparative case studies, critical incident diaries, field experiments. This is a great opportunity for junior scholars to develop their ideas, and to establish new collaborative relationships. This session is focused on work in progress; it is not suited for participants with completed research projects.

Potential participants must email a brief research proposal to Dr. Marie Dasborough by July 9, 2018 (Email: m.dasborough@miami.edu). In the email submission, participants should indicate if they are a doctoral student or faculty member. They should also indicate their top 3 preferences for who they would like to work with from the list of senior leadership scholars. Participants will then be notified by email if their proposal was accepted for discussion.
