Description
Summary:With the global outbreak of COVID-19, colleges and universities have responded with rapid decision making and pivots that are atypical of higher education. Around the world, as university campuses closed abruptly, management academics shifted ongoing courses and programs to remote learning. The open, widespread collaboration that emerged within universities, across professional associations, and across peer networks was foundational to management academics' ability to rapidly, and effectively, move to remote learning and to manage the early weeks of the pandemic. Through emotional catharsis, supportive relationships, and embracing what they have learned they can create pathways for continuing to cultivate professional lives that are, or will be, meaningful and sustaining. In so doing, management academics can lay the foundation for experiencing growth in their work, their careers, and their lives when they emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic.
