42. OMT Joanne Martin Trailblazer Award
2018
Presented by
Davide Ravasi
OMT Division Chair-Elect

43. OMT Joanne Martin Trailblazer Award
The Joanne Martin Trailblazer Award recognizes
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.

50. And finally… Some theory…
Figuring out how to apply theory to leading OMT…..

51. And finally… Some theory…
Please take notes on your authentic 2015 OMT Artifact Post-It Notes from Ann……

52. And finally… Some theory…
“We identify four streams of scholarship on plural leadership…sharing leadership in
teams, on pooling leadership at the top of organizations, on spreading leadership
across boundaries over time, and on producing leadership through interaction.”

53. And finally… Some theory…
“…the creation of a collective leadership
group in which members play distinct but
tightly-knit and complementary roles is a
critical factor in achieving substantive
change.”

54. And finally… Some theory…
Got it…..

55. And finally… Some theory…
OMT New Year Celebration 2016

56. And finally… Some theory…
“However, collective leadership is
fragile…change tends to proceed
by fits and starts, with sequential
coupling and uncoupling over time
at different levels.”

57. And finally… Some theory…
Hmmmm….…..

58. And finally… Some theory…
