Campus Provost Martin Chemers to give lecture on effective leadership February 19
 |
| Martin M. Chemers |
What are the characteristics of effective leaders? What kinds of factors affect "nontraditional" leaders, i.e., women and people of color? Campus provost and professor of psychology Martin M. Chemers will discuss his research on effective leadership on February 19 from noon to 1:30 p.m. at the Bay Tree Conference Center, Room D. The talk by Chemers, titled "Heavy Mettle: The Role of Confidence and Optimism in Personal Effectiveness," is the first of two Diversity Lectures sponsored by the Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Office during the winter quarter.
Chemers, who came to UCSC in 1995, is the author and/or editor of over
60 articles and seven books, including An Integrative Theory of Leadership
(Lawrence Erlbaum Associates, 1997) and Diversity in Organizations:
New Perspectives for a Changing Workplace (Sage Publications, 1995),
coedited with Mark Costanzo and Stuart Oskamp.
Reservations are required; contact Andrea Monroe at (831) 459-5087 or
