    In the program -- the book symbol beside our presentations?? Does
    that mean our abstracts are in the published proceedings? Or even better --
    it alerts book publishers to budding authors?? :)

    I don't remember.

    Greetings colleagues,
    A colleague and I are working on a paper on using virtual collaboration in connection to the classroom. We are organizing a symposium to propose for the Academy of Management annual meeting in 2010.

    If you are working on research or a paper related to virtual collaboration or another innovative use of technology in the classroom that might complement our symposium, please send a note of interest to me at llong@bw.edu. Please drop me a note by January 5th (we will need a completed abstract by January 11th).

    Best, Lori

    We are looking for people who would like to participate in a symposium at the Academy of Management meetings in 2011. The title of our symposium is "Extreme Leadership and Teams." The purpose of the symposium is to analyze unique and unusual examples of leaders and teams that have been successful in extreme situations.  We are looking for historical and contemporary cases of exemplary leadership behavior in nontraditional settings, e.g. Ernest Shackleton and the Endurance expedition.  We are also interested in examples of cohesive teams that have achieved outstanding performance by overcoming obstacles.  The team examples would also be drawn from nontraditional settings, such as the Apollo 13 space mission or the 1980 gold medal winning U.S. Hockey team.  We are looking for nontraditional examples of leaders and teams that have not been explored in depth in previous management literature.  The composite of cases presented in the symposium will offer participants alternative lenses through which to view leadership and teams.  The goal of the symposium is to better understand the factors that explain successful leadership and team behavior in trying, dire, and extreme situations.  We currently have two papers for the symposium (Leadership Lessons from The Boss: Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band and From Ernest Shackleton and the Polar Explorers to the Chilean Miners: Leadership and Teams in the Extremest Extreme).  If you are interested in participating in this symposium please forward us your ideas as soon as possible.  We will ultimately need a 3-5 page summary of your presentation, but first we need you to send us your ideas at ahurley@chapman.edu or giannant@chapman.edu.
