MBA Office Updates
Note From Mary D.
As we head into the first true weekend of the summer, I want to remind you
all to figure out a way to stay on top of your work and enjoy the zillion
graduations, weddings and BBQ’s that start to happen at this time of the
year. The one thing I know for sure is that it is almost impossible to not do
any work on the weekends and be successful in school. Life is about choices
and the amount of work you put into school directly correlates to what you
will get out of it. For those of you on team projects this summer, you have a
responsibility to them as well to pull your share of the work. I urge
you to figure out a balance and make good choices about important family and
friend events, work and school. You will have people yapping at you all
summer to forget about school and join them. Plan, plan and then plan some
more so that you can do it all!
Sports Analogies for Those
Students That Like Them!
I watched the Celtics/Magic game last night and was struck by two
things. Horrible officiating, the power of momentum, and the Magic climb back
up the proverbial hill. The correlation to the officiating was our choices
about what to do when faced with decisions you don’t agree with that directly
affect you. Last night we saw the range of responses..trying to discuss it,
walking away and not reacting, spouting off and then getting tossed out of
the game. I would urge you to always think before you respond, put things in
drafts folders before you send off a scathing email response, stay
professional and level headed. Momentum is a crazy thing and it has
definitely switched towards Orlando. For you, it could be a good grade on
your Accounting quiz or Finance homework, or making a huge leap in Markstrat
because of a decision you made. But, the downside is to take nothing for granted,
and future success is never guaranteed. Hard work, preparation and execution
is what it will determine outcomes. Let’s hope the Celtics put it together
tomorrow night.
Quotes of the week
“All
you need is the plan, the road map, and the courage to press on to your
destination.” -Earl Nightingale
“When you're successful, things have a momentum, and at a certain point you
can't really tell whether you have created the momentum or it's creating
you.” -Annie Lennox
Congratulations to Professor Lynda Moore
I am pleased to announce that Professor Lynda L. Moore has been appointed
Senior Scholar for Global Gender and Inclusive Leadership with the Center for
Gender in Organizations. This one year appointment recognizes Professor
Moore’s substantive and pioneering scholarship in studies of women leaders,
and gender, diversity and inclusion across cultures.
Professor Moore’s body of research provides cross cultural and global
perspectives in the study of women’s leadership identity and behavior. Her
publications examine ethnocentric research models and the development of
inclusive and global leadership theory. Recent studies have included research
on women leaders in the United Arab Emirates, Australia, and India.
Additional research includes the examination of gender, diversity and
inclusion in Muslim majority countries. Her extensive publications appear in
US and international journals, and have examined women in management and
diversity, women entrepreneurs with an emphasis on women of color, and
studies of women leaders and family business in a global context.
Professor Moore was awarded a Fulbright fellowship to teach and conduct
research on corporate women leaders in the United Arab Emirates. She
teaches gender, leadership and inclusion at the Indian School of Business,
Hyderabad. In addition, her contribution to the field of leadership research
and practice resulted in her recent appointment as a Fellow of the Leadership
Trust Foundation, UK, the oldest leadership development organization in
the UK.
Please join me in congratulating Lynda on this position.
