OBTS Teaching Society for Management Educators

 Announces the next in its ongoing series of professional development

webinars 

Management educators and our learners: seeing the world (ahead) differently

A live, interactive video conversation with

Sandra Waddock

Galligan Chair of Strategy

Professor of Management

Boston College

Friday, 29 April 2011

1:00 – 2:00 p.m. EDT

Sign up for this free webinar at: http://obts.org/content/webinar

We will reserve your space and send you a reminder e-mail a few days before the session.

It is no cliché.  We are teaching today tomorrow's leaders.   If you are reading this, you are teaching to make the sort of difference that impels our learners to aim for better human conditions, bettered ecosystems, being the best persons they can be.   In this interactive Webinar, Sandra Waddock, our 2011 OBTS David L. Bradford Award honoree, talks with us about her vision for "better". 

A Co-Founder of Boston College's Leadership for Change Program, Sandra offers us a chance to replenish our own (depleted?) stores of optimism; to, in the name of her latest book with Malcolm McIntosh, SEE CHANGE: Making the Transition to a Sustainable Enterprise Economy, see that changing those who will change the world next is our purpose as teachers of tomorrow's leaders. We may not be out there directing the instrumental organizational and societal innovations, but can we "become," in the name of Sandra's other recent book, a Difference Maker?  Join us. 

OBTS Webinar Series connects prominent management scholars with colleagues in a technology-mediated format that can serve many purposes.  Not only will we learn more about these scholars' 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 Sandra Waddock will be working with us.  And conversations can continue at OBTC 2011 at Marquette University -  Open to the Possibilities: Self | Students | Community |

We look forward to you joining us on Friday, 29 April, 1:00 – 2:00 p.m. EDT.  Again, please sign up at:  http://obts.org/content/webinar
