We know Dorothy Marcic as one of our most gifted and versatile university management educators. Now, as author and playwright, she brings her positive organizational behavior perspective to both stages and pages, moving her peerless ways of teaching beyond the textbook and classroom. OB teachers engage learners in a variety of artistic expressions to bring home lessons about the wondrous complexities of humans bring organizations from role plays, to poems, and stories. What advice can professor-artist Dorothy Marcic offer us for teaching differently, so that our learners may put their hearts, as well as their creative minds, into their knowledge of managerial leadership?
This short bio statement covers only a little of Dorothy Marcic's experiences. Among other things, Dorothy is a former professor at Vanderbilt University's Owen Graduate School of Management. She was a Fulbright Scholar at the University of Economics-Prague and served as advisor to the US Ambassador of the Czech Republic and was a delegate to both the United Nations Economic and Social Develop Summit in Copenhagen and the UN Commission on the Status of Women. She is the author of 12 published books, including Love Lift Me Higher and RESPECT: Women and Popular Music, which traces Top 40-songs with women's development in the 20th century. That book serves as the basis for her four-woman musical theater production RESPECT: The Musical Journey of Women (www.respectthemusical.com), which has played in 17 cities (including Boston, Chicago, Detroit, Tampa, Philadelphia and Sydney). In its early stages, Dorothy traveled the U.S. and the world doing the one- woman show version, which was been well-received in Australia, New Zealand, Israel, Holland, England and South Africa. She has appeared on C-SPAN, CMT, and Bravo Network and is a member of the Dramatists' Guild.
The OBTS Webinar Series connects prominent management educators with colleagues in a technology-mediated format that can serve many purposes. Not only will we learn more about their work and have the opportunity to discuss issues, we also may make new connections among our colleagues that can lead to future study groups, research initiatives and other professional development activities. In planning the series, we thought that not only learning more about what people do would be important but also how they view the challenges for the future. We are very pleased that Dorothy Marcic will be working with us. And conversations can continue at OBTC 2010 at The University of New Mexico whose theme is Engaging Difference.
We look forward to you joining us on Friday, 19 March 2010, from 1:00 – 2:00p.m. EST. Again, please sign up at: http://www.obtc.org/webinars
