Meaningful Mentoring to Develop High Quality Leadership Research
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 (members of The Leadership Quarterly Editorial Board) who will be mentoring the junior scholars are:
- Gary Yukl; State U. of New York, Albany
- Leanne Atwater; U. of Houston
- Kevin B. Lowe; U. of Auckland (New Zealand)
- Ronit Kark; Bar Ilan U. (Israel)
- Mary Sully de Luque; Thunderbird U.
- Ron Humphrey; U. of Lancaster (UK)
- Claudia C. Cogliser; Texas Tech U.
- Robin Martin; U. of Manchester (UK)
- Shelley Dionne; SUNY Binghamton
- Michael Cole; Texas Christian U.
- John Antonakis; U. of Lausanne (Switzerland)
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, 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 8, 2016 (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 leader scholars. Participants will then be notified by email if their proposal was accepted for discussion.
