Dear Colleagues,
It is our pleasure to announce our upcoming MSR Flamekeeper "Big Question Webinar." All are welcome. During the first few minutes of this 90-minute zoom call, Judi Neal will share thoughts and questions for us to ponder regarding movement building and how we can build an MSR research and practice movement. Then the call will be opened up to all participants for discussion. The calls will be recorded and posted to AOM Connect.
Sponsored by: MSR Flamekeepers Committee
Our Next Webinar:
BIG QUESTION: What does it mean to build an "MSR Movement?" What are we currently doing that works and what more can we do to expand our field?
In the Academy of Management, we don't normally think of a Division, or an academic field of study as a "movement." But what if we began thinking of ourselves as part of a larger movement? How would we describe that movement? Who else in AOM might be a part of this movement? Who else outside of AOM might be a part of this movement? What can this movement accomplish? What would it look like if we are successful?
We will examine three models relevant for movement building:
· Sandra Waddock's Catalyzing Transformation
· John Paul Lederach's "Critical Yeast Theory" (see Chapter 9), https://gruposhumanidades14.files.wordpress.com/2014/10/john-paul-lederach-the-moral-imagination_the-art-and-soul-of-building-peace.pdf
· Meg Wheatley's and Deborah Frieze's Emergence and Social Innovation, https://www.margaretwheatley.com/articles/emergence.html

The Purpose of the Flamekeeper Committee:
In 2016, at the invitation of Jim Stoner, the Chair of the Management, Spirituality and Religion (MSR) Interest Group, Judi Neal created the MSR Flamekeepers Committee. The purpose of the Flamekeepers Committee is to recognize and honor long-time members of the MSR Special Interest Group who have made significant contributions to the science and practice of management, spirituality and religion, and to the leadership of MSR. The Flamekeepers Committee also provides opportunities for deep relational connection among the MSR elders, in support of the founding vision of MSR.
