And very few academics will do it. So by that standard, we are all pretty much failures.""I think it’s more important to have an enjoyable career, to do work that matters to us, and remain interested, focused, and curious, above all be curious, throughout our academic careers.""The world is moving fast and our scholarship needs to reflect that in a more timely manner than it does. I don’t mean that we should cut corners on our work. But we can certainly offer interesting ideas in a more timely manner than we seem to have been doing in the past."Resources Mentioned in This EpisodeResponsible Research for Business and Management (RRBM)Mutiny and Leadership by Keith Grint  About The International Leadership Association (ILA)The ILA was created in 1999 to bring together professionals with a keen interest in the study, practice, and teaching of leadership.
