SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:What makes us feel supported? Unpacking work support perceptions
DESCRIPTION:For more than fifty years\, research has underscored the central role of social support in fostering employee well-being and organizational effectiveness. Yet\, despite its prominence\, relatively little is known about how employees actually form judgments of how supported they feel at work. This lack of clarity creates persistent challenges for scholars attempting to measure the construct and for practitioners striving to cultivate genuinely supportive workplaces. To address this gap\, I will present findings from two studies designed to clarify the nature of social support and illuminate the processes through which employees develop perceptions of it.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Statements of Value vs. Statements of Action: Exploring Organizational Responses to COVID-19 and Race in 2020
DESCRIPTION:Drawing on a content analysis of statements from Fortune 500 companies\, US News and World Report’s top 100 universities\, and Forbes’ top 100 nonprofits\, this project captures and analyzes organizational responses to COVID and issues of racial inequality in the US. Both issues were central in US life in 2020. We explore two questions: How did organizations talk about COVID and race-related issues in 2020? Relatedly\, was there any variation in the presence and content of organizational statements about these two issues? Based on their statements\, COVID pushed organizations to produce tangible responses grounded in actions aimed at reducing the impact of the pandemic\, while race-related issues generated condemnations of racism attached to abstract reflections on the implication of racial inequality or calls for further discussion of the issue. As ubiquitous as both issues were in the US\, any talk of a “national conversation” around these topics misleadingly obscures important variation in how organizations talked about these concurrent social issues. Across organizational type\, the contrast in how companies talked about both issues suggests that robust organizational engagement with broader social issues can happen\, but organizations are selective in choosing which issues garner deep\, action-oriented engagement.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:From Purity to Ambidexterity: The Moralization of Intrinsic Motivation and Beyond
DESCRIPTION:“Why do you work?” It’s one of the most familiar questions we face\, posed by employers\, friends\, and sometimes even by ourselves. My dissertation shows that work motivation is more than just a reason for working\; it also carries moral weight. People often view intrinsic motivation—working for the inherent satisfaction of the task—as a marker of moral worth\, using it to judge others and to signal their own values. In contrast\, external rewards such as money or recognition are frequently viewed with suspicion and distaste. Yet despite the common belief that intrinsic and extrinsic motivations are opposites\, most of us are driven by both. If mixed motivation is common\, an important question is how people manage the coexistence of multiple motives. My current research explores this through the concept of motivational ambidexterity. Defined as the capacity to balance different types of motivation\, I theorize about where motivational ambidexterity comes from and how it influences employees’ pursuit of meaningful and effective work.

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Positive Links Speaker Series
DESCRIPTION:Positive Links Speaker Series: Wellbeing Works: The Science of Employee Happiness and Organizational Performance\nGeorge Ward\nTuesday\, September 30\, 2025\n1:00 - 2:00 p.m. ET\nFree and open to all\, registration required to obtain login information\nOnline\n\nEvent link: https://myumi.ch/2rQkE\n\nPositive Links:\nThe Positive Links Speaker Series\, presented by Michigan Ross’ Center for Positive Organizations\, offers inspiring and practical science-based strategies to build and bolster thriving organizations. Attendees learn from leading positive organizational scholars and connect with our community of academics\, students\, staff\, and leaders.\n\nAbout the talk:\nNew evidence drawing on data from millions of U.S. workers reveals that workplace wellbeing is a critical driver of productivity\, retention\, talent attraction\, and ultimately\, profitability\, even though it is often dismissed as a “nice-to-have” perk. In this session\, Dr. George Ward will share research from his recent book\, \"Why Workplace Wellbeing Matters: The Science Behind Employee Happiness and Organizational Performance\" (Harvard Business Review Press\, 2025)\, and highlight how organizations shape both how people think about their jobs and how they feel while doing them. He believes it’s time to take happiness seriously.\n\nUsing insights from the world’s largest dataset on employee wellbeing—collected in partnership with Indeed and spanning millions of workers across industries and countries—this session will discuss why workplace wellbeing goes far beyond individualized wellness programs. Instead\, wellbeing should be seen as a core organizational capability\, fundamentally shaped by how work is designed and managed. Join us to learn how organizations can foster employee happiness\, and how these choices may translate into performance gains for companies that prioritize their people’s wellbeing.\n\nAbout Ward: \nGeorge Ward is an Assistant Professor of Organisational Behaviour at INSEAD. He earned his PhD from MIT’s Sloan School of Management and was subsequently the Mary Ewart Junior Research Fellow in Economics at Somerville College\, University of Oxford. He has published widely in leading academic journals across economics\, psychology\, and management\, and is the coauthor of Why Workplace Wellbeing Matters (Harvard Business Review Press) and The Origins of Happiness (Princeton University Press). His work focuses on the study of human wellbeing\, using Big Data and cutting-edge statistical techniques to address pressing challenges in business and public policy.\n\nHost:\nMonica Worline\, Faculty Director\, Center for Positive Organizations\n\nSeries Sponsors:\nThe Center for Positive Organizations thanks the Sanger Leadership Center\, Tauber Institute for Global Operations\, and the Zell Lurie Institute for Entrepreneurship for their support of the 2025-26 Positive Links Speaker Series. \n\nSeries Promotional Partners:\nAdditionally\, we thank Ann Arbor SPARK\, the Managerial and Organizational Cognition (MOC) Division of the Academy of Management\, and the Organization Development and Change (ODC) Division of the Academy of Management for their Positive Links Speaker Series promotional partnerships.

DESCRIPTION:Despite being a violation of social norms\, practices of deception are prevalent in organizations and markets. While existing research has focused on cases of clear-cut fraud\, this article studies occupations that operate in a gray zone of deception: they cannot be simply defined as fraudulent\, but the potential for deceit casts a shadow of suspicion across their practices. We ask: how and when do members of emerging occupations navigate a shadow of suspicion about their work? Drawing on comparative ethnographic data\, we examine the tactics enacted by members of two emerging occupations—career coaches and technology platform evangelists—in their attempts at navigating suspicions of deception. We find that members of both occupations employ a set of tactics that reveal surprising similarities and meaningful differences in how they navigate this shadow of suspicion. Together\, we refer to these tactics as moral offense: rather than defending their own probity\, they accuse relevant others—social systems\, the [audience’s] self\, their doubters—of moral failings as a means of normalizing their practices. Their primary tool in moral offense is a symbolic binary between the “old” and the “new” economy. Occupational members leverage this binary to stir up the anxious uncertainty experienced by their audiences\, leading them through a process of disorientation and reorientation that they in turn use to construct their moral authority as guides to the unknown. In doing so\, these occupational members implicitly reframe structural problems of precarity and uncertainty in the new economy into a call for individual moral awakening and updating of moral orientations. Findings contribute to organizational and sociological theories of deception\, occupations\, and morality in economic life.

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Positive Links Speaker Series
DESCRIPTION:Positive Links Speaker Series: The Doors You Can Open: Networking\, Building Trust\, and Using Your Influence to Create a More Inclusive Workplace\nRosalind Chow\nTuesday\, October 28\, 2025\n3:00 - 4:00 p.m. ET\nFree and open to all\, registration required\nIn-Person & Online Options Available\n\nEvent link: https://myumi.ch/R3dr6\n\nPositive Links:\nThe Positive Links Speaker Series\, presented by Michigan Ross’ Center for Positive Organizations\, offers inspiring and practical science-based strategies to build and bolster thriving organizations. Attendees learn from leading positive organizational scholars and connect with our community of academics\, students\, staff\, and leaders.\n\nAbout the talk:\nMentors talk to you\, sponsors talk about you. \n\nDrawing from her research on power\, status\, and social hierarchy and experience building executive leadership programming\, Dr. Chow transforms our understanding of networking and career advancement by differentiating sponsorship from mentorship. She will discuss the core ideas from her book\, \"The Doors You Can Open\,\" sharing how looking for opportunities to be a sponsor – rather than a beneficiary of sponsorship – can change how we approach our relationships\, build trust\, and elevate others\, ourselves\, and our communities.\n\nAbout Chow: \nRosalind Chow is an associate professor of Organizational Behavior and Theory at Carnegie Mellon University. Her research\, teaching\, and writing focus on how we all participate in social systems in ways that have implications for the maintenance or attenuation of inequity. Her current research focuses on how people can use their social connections to elevate others via sponsorship. She uses insights from research to inform the design of executive leadership programming for a variety of clients\, such as Deloitte\, Kaiser Permanente\, and others.\n\nChow holds a BA in Psychology from Columbia University and a PhD in Organizational Behavior from the Stanford Graduate School of Business. She currently lives in Pittsburgh\, PA\, with her husband\, Jeff Galak\, and their two children\, Lia and Simon.\n\nHost:\nMonica Worline\, Faculty Director\, Center for Positive Organizations\n\nSeries Sponsors:\nThe Center for Positive Organizations thanks the Sanger Leadership Center\, Tauber Institute for Global Operations\, and the Zell Lurie Institute for Entrepreneurship for their support of the 2025-26 Positive Links Speaker Series. \n\nSeries Promotional Partners:\nAdditionally\, we thank Ann Arbor SPARK\, the Managerial and Organizational Cognition (MOC) Division of the Academy of Management\, and the Organization Development and Change (ODC) Division of the Academy of Management for their Positive Links Speaker Series promotional partnerships.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Hiring to Displace: How Employers Use Legal Status to Reshape Workplace Power
DESCRIPTION:Legal status is not just context\, and its relevance is not confined to ethnic niches. It functions as a managerial instrument of workplace governance within large and complex organizations. I develop the concept of orchestrated racialized displacement to specify how organizations transform legal status vulnerability into managerial control under a race-neutral compliance veneer. Based on a multiyear ethnography of Southern manufacturing\, nearly 300 interviews\, and archival research\, I trace four interlocking levers: (1) staffing agency partnerships\, (2) selective verification\, (3) performance metrics that reward speed and compliance\, and (4) job redesign. Together\, these practices are deployed to recruit and retain Latino immigrant workers without federal work authorization and establish a credible threat regime that reallocates tasks\, shifts\, and promotions\; discipline U.S.-born workers\; and narrow mobility ladders\, with disproportionate effects on Black workers. By linking shopfloor routines to organizational partnerships and local labor markets\, the analysis clarifies why standard accounts (network effects\, “race-neutral” HR\, or shifts in demand) are incomplete. The framework identifies the organizational levers\, rather than just the outcomes\, through which firms remake internal labor markets. It also formalizes a meso-level account connecting managerial practice to durable segmentation.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Roadblocks to Organizational Change: Managing Knowing and the Production of Ignorance in Organizations
DESCRIPTION:Raising awareness and closing information gaps are seen as critical for organizational change. However\, this process is far from straightforward. Research on denial and ignorance has begun to highlight the tactics and everyday practices that enable distancing\, ignoring\, and evasion\, uncovering the ways fields\, organizations\, and individuals continually – and often creatively – arrive at not-knowing. Despite being pervasive and socially consequential\, ignorance is understudied. Leveraging in-depth interviews and observations of participants in a women’s leadership development program at a large non-profit organization over a three-year period\, we outline a new theoretical approach for understanding how not-knowing is produced and sustained. In this talk\, we share insights into ‘managing knowing\,’ or how relevant but unwelcome\, uncomfortable\, or problematic information is not attended to\, actively ignored\, and kept out of mind. Through the framework of ‘managing knowing\,’ we illuminate a hard-to-see barrier that can prevent organizational members from seeing and responding to difficult issues and stymies organizational change.

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Positive Links Speaker Series
DESCRIPTION:Positive Links Speaker Series: Listening to Flourish: Harnessing High-Quality Listening to Build Thriving Organizations\nGuy Itzchakov\nTuesday\, November 18\, 2025\n11:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. ET\nFree and open to all\, registration required to obtain login information\nOnline\n\nEvent link: https://myumi.ch/JPNZN\n\nPositive Links:\nThe Positive Links Speaker Series\, presented by Michigan Ross’ Center for Positive Organizations\, offers inspiring and practical science-based strategies to build and bolster thriving organizations. Attendees learn from leading positive organizational scholars and connect with our community of academics\, students\, staff\, and leaders.\n\nAbout the talk:\nGood listening isn’t just passive attention\; it is an active tool that shapes how people think\, feel\, and connect. Professor Guy Itzchakov’s research shows that high-quality listening\, marked by focused attention\, accurate understanding\, and a non-judgmental intent\, facilitates profound introspection\, self-disclosure\, and social connection. When employees feel truly heard\, they report higher job satisfaction and performance\, stronger commitment\, and lower burnout and turnover intentions. Experiments also show that being genuinely listened to reduces social defensiveness\, promotes self-reflection\, and can depolarize attitudes and disagreements.  \n\nIn this Positive Links session\, Prof. Itzchakov will share his cutting-edge research and unpack what makes listening “high quality” and why it matters for leaders\, employees\, and practitioners. Drawing on studies from his lab and work with organizations worldwide\, he will explain the components of good listening and demonstrate concrete behaviors that make people feel understood. Join us to learn how high-quality listening builds trust\, liking\, and relationship satisfaction\; how it can bridge ideological divides and spark innovation by reducing defensiveness\; and how to cultivate a listening culture through training and practice. By the end of the session\, you will have research-based tools to foster positive relationships and build organizations where people can thrive. \n\nAbout Itzchakov:\nGuy Itzchakov is an Associate Professor and Department Chair in the Department of Human Services at the University of Haifa\, where he directs the “Interpersonal Listening and Social Influence Lab”. Guy received his PhD in Business Administration from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem (2017) and was a postdoctoral fellow at the Rotman School of Management at the University of Toronto (2018).  \n\nHis research focuses on the effects of high-quality listening on listeners’ and speakers’ emotions\, attitudes\, and behaviors\, as well as listening training in organizations. Guy’s research includes laboratory experiments\, field studies\, and listening training studies. The latter examines how listening training programs in organizations impact managers\, employees\, and organizational outcomes. Other research lines include attitudes and persuasion\, attitude ambivalence\, and goal setting.  \n\nHost:\nMonica Worline\, Faculty Director\, Center for Positive Organizations\n\nSeries Sponsors:\nThe Center for Positive Organizations thanks the Sanger Leadership Center\, Tauber Institute for Global Operations\, and the Zell Lurie Institute for Entrepreneurship for their support of the 2025-26 Positive Links Speaker Series. \n\nSeries Promotional Partners:\nAdditionally\, we thank Ann Arbor SPARK\, the Managerial and Organizational Cognition (MOC) Division of the Academy of Management\, and the Organization Development and Change (ODC) Division of the Academy of Management for their Positive Links Speaker Series promotional partnerships.

SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:Integrated Product Development: Online Product Launch
DESCRIPTION:The Fall 2025 IPD Online Product Launch runs from December 2 at 12 p.m. through December 5 at 12 p.m. During this time\, members of the public are invited to explore a virtual marketplace by visiting the IPD Voting Website. Each participant is given a hypothetical budget to allocate across products based on personal preferences. \nThe challenge concludes with an in-person Product Launch on December 8\, from 5:30–7:30 p.m.\, in the Ross School of Business Winter Garden. Guests will have the opportunity to interact directly with student teams\, experience the products in person\, and vote for their favorites. The evening will culminate with the announcement of the winning team.\n\nTHE CHALLENGE\nThis year’s theme\, “Material Matters\,” asks students to design products that weave sustainability into outdoor products and experiences. Student teams employ sustainably-oriented textiles in physical\, digital\, or hybrid “phygital” products that support engagement with the outdoors – from balconies to backyards to ballparks to beaches to bayous and beyond.\n\nTHE COURSE\nThe University of Michigan’s Integrated Product Design (IPD) program brings together interdisciplinary teams of students from business\, engineering\, information\, and design. Students collaborate in cross-functional teams to operate as independent companies competing in a specific product market.\n\nEach semester\, IPD focuses on a unique design challenge\, and asks teams to operate as independent firms competing in that market. The curriculum combines lectures with hands-on work\, guiding teams through critical stages such as customer discovery\, concept generation\, technical development\, production planning\, pricing\, and marketing.\nThe IPD Challenge is more than a classroom project. It’s a hands-on experience that pushes students to create solutions that could shape industries. By integrating business strategy with technical feasibility and user-centered design\, the competition mirrors the real-world product development process. Students don’t just build prototypes—they develop go-to-market strategies and refine their concepts based on real feedback.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Accounting for Socialization: Professional Education and Quantitative Governance
DESCRIPTION:“Accountability” has become an increasingly prominent form of governance across the globe.  However\, we know little about how the people who craft and implement such policies learn the rationale of accountability.  How do future policy professionals learn accountability?  That is\, how is accountability\, as a form of governance\, taught and learned?  These questions pertain to professional socialization and are key to understanding the spread and implementation of accountability policies across organizations.  To answer these questions\, we draw from a 2-year ethnography of a cohort of students at a highly regarded Masters of Public Affairs (MPA) program. Utilizing an inhabited institutional approach\, we find that the students learn accountability indirectly through an emphasis on the quantitative techniques that facilitate accountability. Instead of directly debating forms of governance such as accountability\, the students become versed in quantitative “language” and “tools\,” which in different ways support or actively promote forms of accountability in their careers. As an institutional rationale and form of governance\, accountability is inhabited by policy professionals who have been socialized into quantitative language and tools.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Specialization\, the Division of Labor\, and Explorations in Property Distribution
DESCRIPTION:Specialization is a process where individuals\, groups\, or organizations focus on one task or area of knowledge. It drives economic development\, organizational growth\, and increases in social complexity\, capacity\, and heterogeneity. Discussions of specialization in the social sciences contain an undocumented but significant ambiguity. The term specialization is used to refer to both the division of labor\, in which tasks are divided into complementary processes or components\, and differentiation\, in which units choose tasks that are different from each other. Despite a long history in which the two types of coordination are used interchangeably under the term ‘specialization\,’ we demonstrate that the division of labor and differentiation thrive in opposite social conditions. Using computational models\, we found that variation in basic social conditions had opposite effects for the two different coordination processes: increasing social density encouraged the division of labor and inhibited differentiation and increasing the number of specializations encouraged differentiation and inhibited the division of labor. Since specialization is central to economic development\, there is value in understanding the conditions that foster it. We show that encouraging specialization requires disambiguating the two distinct types of coordination.

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Positive Links Speaker Series
DESCRIPTION:Positive Links Speaker Series: Leading for Wellness: How to Create a Team Culture Where Everyone Thrives\nKatina Sawyer\nWednesday\, January 28\, 2026\n1:00 - 2:00 p.m. ET\nFree and open to all\, registration required to obtain login information\nOnline\n\nEvent link: https://myumi.ch/2rQpD\n\nPositive Links:\nThe Positive Links Speaker Series\, presented by Michigan Ross’ Center for Positive Organizations\, offers inspiring and practical science-based strategies to build and bolster thriving organizations. Attendees learn from leading positive organizational scholars and connect with our community of academics\, students\, staff\, and leaders.\n\nAbout the talk:\nA troubling trend is emerging in today’s workplace: employee morale and overall satisfaction are in sharp decline\, despite companies investing more in wellness initiatives than ever before. What’s missing? Contrary to popular beliefs and large investments from companies\, “add-on” offerings like wellness classes\, mindfulness training\, and healthy lifestyle initiatives are not perceived as helpful for improving employee wellness. Many organizations misunderstand wellness―it’s not a program or a box to check. Instead\, employees’ actual day-to-day experiences at work and interactions with their leaders are far more important than wellness programs or initiatives. \n\nLearn about a science-backed blueprint for fostering healthier\, more productive work environments rooted in actionable steps for leaders to become “Generators”―the leaders organizations and employees value most who cultivate genuine connections\, create a positive team culture\, and help employees achieve their work and life goals. Gain a clear\, data-driven path forward and a concrete plan to turn the session’s insights into action―to become the Generators you and others have the potential to be. \n\nAbout Sawyer:\nDr. Katina Sawyer is an internationally recognized expert on the science of workplace wellness. She is the co-author of \"Leading for Wellness: How to Create a Team Culture Where Everyone Thrives\" and co-host of the Leading for Wellness podcast\, which brings research-backed insights to people passionate about building thriving workplaces. As co-founder of Workr Beeing\, Dr. Sawyer is on a mission to make evidence-based wellness strategies accessible to employees everywhere. \n\nA TEDx speaker and a thought leader featured in Harvard Business Review\, Forbes\, Fast Company\, and other major outlets\, Dr. Sawyer has delivered hundreds of presentations to audiences around the world. Her expertise has also been showcased on both local and national news\, where she brings clarity and inspiration to conversations about what it takes to foster wellbeing at work. \n\nDr. Sawyer is also an award-winning researcher and an Associate Professor of Management and Organizations at the University of Arizona’s Eller College of Management. She has published over 50 peer-reviewed articles and book chapters — which focus on leadership\, employee flourishing\, and organizational culture — many of which have been published in top journals such as Journal of Applied Psychology and Administrative Science Quarterly. Katina has received over 15 national research and teaching awards\, including the SIOP Early Career Award for Humanistic I-O Psychology\, the University of Michigan’s Positive Organizational Scholarship Publication of the Year\, and Philadelphia’s 40 Under 40 distinction. \n\nHost:\nMonica Worline\, Faculty Director\, Center for Positive Organizations\n\nSeries Sponsors:\nThe Center for Positive Organizations thanks the Sanger Leadership Center\, Tauber Institute for Global Operations\, and the Zell Lurie Institute for Entrepreneurship for their support of the 2025-26 Positive Links Speaker Series. \n\nSeries Promotional Partners:\nAdditionally\, we thank Ann Arbor SPARK\, the Managerial and Organizational Cognition (MOC) Division of the Academy of Management\, and the Organization Development and Change (ODC) Division of the Academy of Management for their Positive Links Speaker Series promotional partnerships.

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Positive Links Speaker Series
DESCRIPTION:Positive Links Speaker Series: The Science of Failing Well: How to Change Your Thinking to Lead (and Thrive) in an Uncertain World\nAmy C. Edmondson\nThursday\, February 26\, 2026\n3:00 - 4:00 p.m. ET\nFree and open to all\, registration required\nIn-Person & Online Options Available\n\nEvent link: https://myumi.ch/8qynj\n\nPositive Links:\nThe Positive Links Speaker Series\, presented by Michigan Ross’ Center for Positive Organizations\, offers inspiring and practical science-based strategies to build and bolster thriving organizations. Attendees learn from leading positive organizational scholars and connect with our community of academics\, students\, staff\, and leaders.\n\nAbout the talk: \nThis session explores a mindset shift that supports effective action in the face of uncertainty. This shift is well captured by the short phrase\, “think like a scientist\,” offered as a deliberate contrast to thinking like a (command-and-control) manager. Classically\, managers supplied answers and plans and evaluated how well others executed on them.  In contrast\, successful leaders of scientific labs offer direction and questions that empower action and help others make sense of data. This is not about being more lenient or laissez-faire\, but rather about a new type of discipline. Their model provides an analog that leaders in any industry today can learn from. In short\, today’s leaders must abandon the discipline of control to embrace the discipline of learning. Key concepts covered include psychological safety\, intelligent failure\, and interpersonal skills for high-quality conversations. \n\nAbout Edmondson:\nAmy C. Edmondson is the Novartis Professor of Leadership and Management at the Harvard Business School\, a chair established to support the study of human interactions that lead to the creation of successful enterprises that contribute to the betterment of society. \n\nHer 2019 book\, \"The Fearless Organization: Creating Psychological Safety in the Workplace for Learning\, Innovation and Growth\,\" has been translated into 15 languages. Edmondson’s latest book\, \"Right Kind of Wrong\,\" builds on her prior work on psychological safety and teaming to provide a framework for thinking about\, discussing\, and practicing the science of failing well. First published in the US and in the UK (Penguin) in September 2023\, the book is due to be translated into 24 additional languages and was selected for the Financial Times and Schroders Best Business Book of the Year award. \n\nHost:\nMonica Worline\, Faculty Director\, Center for Positive Organizations\n\nSeries Sponsors:\nThe Center for Positive Organizations thanks the Sanger Leadership Center\, Tauber Institute for Global Operations\, and the Zell Lurie Institute for Entrepreneurship for their support of the 2025-26 Positive Links Speaker Series. \n\nSeries Promotional Partners:\nAdditionally\, we thank Ann Arbor SPARK\, the Managerial and Organizational Cognition (MOC) Division of the Academy of Management\, and the Organization Development and Change (ODC) Division of the Academy of Management for their Positive Links Speaker Series promotional partnerships.

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Positive Links Speaker Series
DESCRIPTION:Positive Links Speaker Series: The INSPIRE Advantage: The Universal Path for Leading Yourself and Others\nAdam Galinsky\nThursday\, March 12\, 2026\n11:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. ET\nFree and open to all\, registration required to obtain login information\nOnline\n\nEvent link: https://myumi.ch/794QQ\n\nPositive Links:\nThe Positive Links Speaker Series\, presented by Michigan Ross’ Center for Positive Organizations\, offers inspiring and practical science-based strategies to build and bolster thriving organizations. Attendees learn from leading positive organizational scholars and connect with our community of academics\, students\, staff\, and leaders.\n\nAbout the talk:\nSocial psychologist and leadership expert Adam Galinsky has spent three decades building a method for determining when we are inspiring versus infuriating\, and where each of us—presidents\, CEOs\, coaches\, teachers\, parents—currently land on that spectrum. In this talk\, Galinsky will unpack the science of inspiration and show how inspiring and infuriating leaders represent a universal continuum that is rooted in the very architecture of the human brain. In his research\, Galinsky has identified the three universal features in inspiring others. Because these three universal factors can be learned and developed\, Galinsky has proven that inspiring leaders aren’t just born—instead\, we can inspire or infuriate in any given moment through our behavior\, words\, or presence. Galinsky will reveal how all of us\, regardless of status or circumstance\, can be more inspiring more often. \n\nAbout Galinsky:\nAdam Galinsky is the Paul Calello Professor of Leadership and Ethics at Columbia Business School. A world-renowned expert in leadership and negotiation\, he authored the recently released \"INSPIRE: The Universal Path for Leading Yourself and Others\" and co-authored the bestselling book\, Friend & Foe. His books are based in over 300 scientific articles and chapters he has co-authored. His TED Talk\, \"How to Speak Up for Yourself\,\" has over 7.7 million views\, highlighting his impact on influence and inspiration. Professor Galinsky has served as a damages expert in a dozen trials involving reputational damage\, including Dominion Voting Systems v. Fox News and Bacon v. Nygard. His expert reports and testimony have generated more than $1 billion in verdicts and settlements. He is an Executive and Associate Producer on six award-winning documentaries\, including two (Horns and Halos (2003) and Battle for Brooklyn (2011)) that were short-listed (final 15) for Best Documentary at the Academy Awards. He received his PhD from Princeton University and his BA from Harvard University.\n\nHost:\nMonica Worline\, Faculty Director\, Center for Positive Organizations\n\nSeries Sponsors:\nThe Center for Positive Organizations thanks the Sanger Leadership Center\, Tauber Institute for Global Operations\, and the Zell Lurie Institute for Entrepreneurship for their support of the 2025-26 Positive Links Speaker Series. \n\nSeries Promotional Partners:\nAdditionally\, we thank Ann Arbor SPARK\, the Managerial and Organizational Cognition (MOC) Division of the Academy of Management\, and the Organization Development and Change (ODC) Division of the Academy of Management for their Positive Links Speaker Series promotional partnerships.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Incentives and the Social Fabric of Organizations
DESCRIPTION:When do incentives work\, and when and why do they backfire? How do incentives interact with the social context of organizations in which the incentives are used? This talk presents evidence from a series of field experiments\, and it draws on relational incentives theory to reconcile seemingly divergent findings. In the first experiment\, social recognition incentives had positive and enduring effects on volunteer retention at Wikipedia. In contrast\, a second field experiment in healthcare reveals how social recognition incentives backfired\, undermining physicians’ well-being at work. A third study\, conducted in the same healthcare setting\, shows that a form of participation incentive—a co-creation initiative with physicians—enhanced physician motivation and organizational citizenship behaviors. This research program dissects the reciprocal influences of incentives and social relationships to study how they jointly shape motivation\, behavior\, and well-being\, with implications for designing more effective incentive systems.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:The Souls of Organizations: Learning\, Grief\, and Why Higher Education Boards Change Without Changing
DESCRIPTION:How do governing boards make decisions about diversity\, equity\, and inclusion (DEI) in contentious times\, and why does organizational learning at the governance level so often stall before producing lasting change? Drawing on a multi-year participatory action research collaboration with a governing board\, this talk traces how board members moved through cycles of intuiting\, interpreting\, and integrating as they developed a decision-making rubric for DEI\, yet never institutionalized it. The empirical case reveals a pattern this talk names as \"changing without changing\": boards can build tools\, develop shared language\, and demonstrate genuine learning while avoiding the deeper losses and possibilities that institutional transformation demands. Taking cues from the Du Boisian tradition of rendering visible the interiority that dominant frameworks suppress\, the talk explores what it might mean to take seriously the existential dimensions of institutional life that governance routinely flattens into strategic plans and performance metrics. When boards cannot name or grieve what is ending\, learning may circulate without landing. The talk opens a conversation about whether grief work belongs not at the margins of governance but at its foundation\, and whether attending to what organizations are losing is a precondition for organizational learning that actually transforms.
