Dear Colleague,
You are invited to take part in the Symposium "Interfaces of Strategic Leaders: Developing a Future Research Agenda" that will be taking place at the 2016 Academy of Management Meeting in Anaheim, CA on Tuesday, August 9, 2016 from 1:15pm to 2:45pm at the La Jolla Room in the Hilton Anaheim.
Even though CEOs and boards of directors hold the ultimate decisional power and responsibility in organizations, strategic leadership of organizations is fundamentally social and collective, encompassing a complex array of interfaces through which strategic leaders interact (or not) with each other and various stakeholders. Spanning both micro- and macro-domains, our distinguished speakers will present new research on a series of critical interfaces both among strategic leaders, and between strategic leaders and the external environment. The papers range from conceptual papers that seek to highlight the potential conduits by which strategic leaders influence one another, to studies of emerging strategic leader roles and the interfaces that these roles must develop and maintain, to analyses of relevant leader traits that influence salient behaviors within these interfaces. Collectively, these perspectives and the conservations that follow will help to illuminate a path for future research on this critical phenomenon. The symposium will appeal to those with an academic and/or managerial interest in strategic leadership, and more broadly those interested in studying (or managing) the intersections between different levels and types of leadership in organizations.
