The transition to Full Professor marks the last promotion for most faculty, yet many still have 25 or more years until retirement. Career plateaus such as this are often accompanied by frustration and decreased commitment, yet some faculty continue to be excited about their careers long after their last promotion. In this PDW, six distinguished faculty who have sustained vitality in their careers in different ways share their stories and strategies for staying engaged and excited as senior professors. These include changing institutions, consulting, mentoring other faculty, writing textbooks, and even semi-retiring. Panelists will speak for the first half of the session. Carrie Hurst will highlight the literature on career plateauing, which can leave people frustrated and dissatisfied. Kim Jentsch will speak about the benefits to mentors and protégées of late-stage career mentoring and explain how full professors can benefit from both roles. Then, Professors Greg Dess, Robert Ford, Gary Latham, Roy Lewicki, Greg Oldham, and Jone Pearce will discuss their journeys from satisfied senior professors to wanting, and finding, new strategies to keep their careers exciting. There will be a question and answer time afterwards. The remainder of the session is a time for the panelists to meet individually or in small groups with PDW participants to provide personalized mentoring on participants' career goals (this portion of the PDW is limited to Full Professors). Participants should leave the session with new strategies for re-energizing their careers and a stronger network of senior colleagues in the Academy.
Best wishes,
