Features
SIOP President Kurt Kraiger starts the October issue with a description and rationale for the inaugural meeting of SIOP’s Executive Board. Kurt makes the case in his article that as we grow as a Society, a larger, diverse board is needed to better serve SIOP members.
Next we feature one of the highlights at SIOP in New Orleans this year: Steve Kerr’s keynote, “Some Random Thoughts on False Dichotomies, Common Coffeepots, and the Portability of Knowledge.” If you missed Steve’s talk (and are intrigued by the title) don’t miss it! Thanks Steve, for your generosity in allowing TIP to print your sage advice.
In other features, Ann Hergatt Huffman, Kristen Watrous-Rodriguez, Jaime Henning, and Julia Berry (along with comments by Paul Muchinsky) discuss ‘“Working’ Through Environmental Issues: The Role of the I-O Psychologist.” Lee Konczak and Jeff Foster discuss “Developing Next Generation Leaders: High Priority on High Potentials.” George Graen ponders “Why We Need to Study Resistance to Change.”
From the Editorial Board
Required reading for my MBAs is Art Gutman and Eric Dunleavy’s new column on the Supreme Court ruling in Ricci v. Destefano. Next, Sylvia Roch tells it like it is in the Academics’ Forum: “How I Stayed Sane During the Tenure Process.” Judy Blanton shines the spotlight on four SIOP Fellows who are practitioners: Jeff McHenry, Cal Hoffman, Allan Church, and Seymour Adler. Marcus Dickson jumpstarts an exciting new editorial column, Max. Classroom Capacity, with the intriguing premise: What is the most that we can bring into the classroom when we teach? Lori Foster Thompson features I-O practice in Greece. TIP-TOPics for Students examines interdiscipliarity within the university. Jamie Madigan welcomes Tom Giberson as his new coauthor for the Good Science–Good Practice column. Last (but not least!) Rich Cober, Rob Silzer, and Anna Erickson further explore science–practice gaps in I–O.
