The differences are two: (1) I am now able to formally connect my ideas with other work on this theme, and (2) I have the opportunity to share a few ideas that time did not permit when I delivered the address. I want to express a great deal of sincere gratitude before I begin. First of all, to my wife, Sue Ashford, thank you for being there for the past thirty years. There is no way in the world that I would have had this opportunity if it were not for you. To our three kids—Allie, Hannah, and Maddy—what can I say? Thanks for being you. Thanks, too, to my extended family for all of your love and support (especially to Karin and Kim for coming all the way from Napa to Montréal to hear what I had to say). To all of my friends—including everyone from Briarcliff Manor, who helps to make us all who we are—thank you for standing by me for so many years. And, finally, thanks to Paul Adler, Sue Ashford, John Chamberlin, Michael Cohen, Marianne Esders, Michael Gordon, Anne-Wil Harzing, Joshua Margolis, Dave Mayer, Alan Meyer, Lance Sandelands, Cathy Shakespeare, Maxim Sytch, Judith Walls, Karl Weick, Joe White, Amy Wrzesniewski, and my colleagues in the Ross School's Management and Organizations department and our Hosmer Seminar for your conversations with me about this address, and to Laura Berdish, Mary Christianson, Regina Fitzpatrick, Ira Fried, Juliane Iannarelli, Patti Lamparter, Corey Seeman, Sean Sullivan, Matt Suppa, and Nancy Urbanowicz for your help with the presentation. I am a lucky man. An audio of the address (along with the slides) is posted on my own and the Academy of Management's website. I will not offer specific web addresses here since I am sure the links will change with time. They should be easy enough to find.Download PDF
