Six professors at the Stephen M. Ross School of Business who founded the Center for Positive Organizational Scholarship have been named Trailblazers by the Organization and Management Theory (OMT) Division of the Academy of Management.
Professors Wayne Baker, Kim Cameron, Jane Dutton, Robert Quinn, Gretchen Spreitzer and Lynn Wooten received the Joanne Martin Trailblazer Award last month at the Academy of Management meetings in Montreal.
The award is given every two years to “scholars who have taken a leadership role in the field of OMT by opening up new lines of thinking or inquiry. A trailblazer is a boundary-spanner and a conversation starter, someone who extends and builds the OMT community by shepherding new ideas and new scholarship, often in unconventional ways.”
The Center for Positive Organizational Scholarship, established in 2002, is a community of scholars devoted to energizing and transforming organizations through research on the theory and practice of positive organizing and leadership.
