Abstract deadline: January 12, 2022

Article deadline: January 31, 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 Amplify (formerly Cutter Business Technology 
Journal ) 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.
