Abstract deadline: December 21, 2021

Article deadline: January 25, 2022

Tumultuous Times is a polite phrase — feel free to substitute your own purple prose for those words. Whatever you call it, we now have back to the office, hybrid mixes, and total free-electron disbursement strategies in play. Many feel like they are living in a Zoom box. Are you really surprised that we are experiencing what the media calls "The Great Resignation"? In just five months of 2021, over 20 million people in the U.S. voluntarily walked away from their jobs.

Maybe we need to think about teams in the context of the corporate culture they inhabit. At one extreme we find organizational cultures where the team is the critical unit. Teams have responsibilities, teams have goals, teams make decisions. At the other end of the spectrum, we have cultures where individual talent is king. The most capable rise to the top, the individual contribution is recognized, celebrated, and rewarded. Teams are yeomen supporting the leading lights. Is one outlook better than the other? In all situations?

Buckingham and Goodall, the authors of Nine Lies About Work , title their Lie #1, "People care which company they work for." They conclude that people don't care very much about the whole company, instead, they desperately care about the group of people they work with on a regular basis. They care what team they are on. Their local perspective of work is just about everything to them.

An upcoming issue of Cutter Business Technology Journal (soon to be renamed Amplify ) with Guest Editor Tim Lister

https://www.cutter.com/experts/tim-lister

, will address the question, "How can we maximize the chances of growing and maintaining a healthy crop of teams?"

Article ideas may include, but are not limited, to the following:

What does the "Great Resignation" say about our workplace culture? What priorities should leaders focus on to attract and retain good people/teams?

What role do teams play in ensuring a sustainable, enduring workplace culture?

What work culture attributes help or hinder team development?

What factors can lead to better employee/team engagement?

What is different about managing cross functional, specialty, distributed, multiple and/or self-managing teams?

Provide a case study of how your organization's established culture of well "gelled," high-functioning teams provided a morale boost during the early stages of the pandemic, and/or helped groups to self-organize and innovate to maintain productivity and success.

Provide a case study of how your organization's culture of effective teaming is helping to attract and retain talent during this era of workforce turbulence.
