Research Interests
-
Mavericks and maverickism (links to innovation, entrepreneurship, and positive deviance)
1) Understanding beneficial non-conformity by individuals in workplaces. Much can be learnt about the beneficial impact of workplace mavericks in assisting organisations to undertake truly creative and innovative transformation change. A type of change that enables them not only to outpaces the competitors in their field, but also to fundamentally shift the boundaries which limit their thinking about what is possible. Ultimately, such actions may enable these organisations to change the game and turn the tables on their competitors. 2) Understanding the difference between maverickism, innovation, and entrepreneurialism. -
Organisational development and change
Understanding the role of power, politics and group dynamics in enabling/inhibiting organisational development and change agendas. Understanding how to effectively harness diversity in teams and groups. -
Leadership and change
Understanding the role of leadership in effectively influencing organisational change. Developing individual and group capacity to lead organisational change agendas. -
Indigenous womens leadership
