  1. Making the Job a Lifelong Passion BPS Doctoral Consortium, August 2013 Margie Peteraf Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth

  2. In My Case….

  3. A Reframing Finding Satisfaction in Your Job and Staying Motivated Throughout your Career

  4. In The Pre-Tenure Phase • The Motivation Part is Simple…

  5. …Since This is the Alternative • “It’s publish or perish and he hasn’t published.”

  6. In The Post-Tenure Phase • The fear factor is gone and you can relax a bit • “Today, class, I’m proud to announce my tenure.”

  7. Charting Your Path Post-Tenure • In the pre-tenure phase, we must teach well, do some service, and make a significant research contribution • But at nearly all schools, the clear emphasis is on the research • That’s the real ticket to getting tenure! • But post tenure, you have more of an opportunity to chart the course of your career

  8. There Is No One Right Way! So Ask Yourself: What am I good at and what do I enjoy doing most How can I contribute most to this profession and best spend my time? How can I make a difference?

  9. The Choice to Focus on Teaching • May involve relocating to a school where this is more highly valued • May involve a choice not to pursue tenure in the first place • Might suggest a shift in types of publications • Cases; research articles on the craft of teaching; video cases • May involve writing a textbook • May involve writing books for practicing managers • Greater involvement with executive education around the world • More opportunities for consulting

  10. The Choice to Focus on Service • This type of choice more often presents itself in the latter part of your career, after you have reached “full” status • But you can begin to see if this is your “passion” earlier • Chairing committees at your school; organizing speaker series, etc • Volunteering for BPS, AOM, SMS – many opportunities exist • Taking on editorial responsibilities at the journals • Later in your career, other opportunities open up • Shift to an administrative role or full time job • Assistant or associate deanships • A position as a Dean, Provost, or President

  11. The Choice to Focus on Research • Pre tenure, many of us are focused on increasing the number of our publications • Constrains us to not stray far from our core topics/expertise area • Post tenure, opportunities open up • Remember what tenure is supposed to be about: ACADEMIC FREEDOM!

  12. Changing Directions Post Tenure • You can now pursue your full range of interests! • Branch out into new research areas • Pursue boundary spanning or cross disciplinary research • Collaborate with new (and new types of) colleagues • Take risks with unconventional topics, approaches • Pursue additional learning opportunities • Retool if necessary • Sabbaticals are a great time to do this!

  13. Changing Attitudes Post Tenure • E.g. The Review Process

  14. Review Process Example • I now have a better understanding of my true role as a reviewer • Not to show off my knowledge or to be critical, but to find the gem in a paper and help the authors showcase it most fruitfully • And I have a better appreciation of even critical reviewers • They allow my research to be the best it can be!
