I sometimes forget how much of a masterpiece John Van Maanen and Steve Barley's Occupational Communities (1984) chapter is – how thorough yet sweeping its insights, even 40 years after its publication.
And then I re-read it, and I remember.
@francescamari's audio reading of her @nytimesbusiness piece really struck a chord with me. Like her, I also graduated from @Harvard circa '07/'08 and recall the emphasis on recruiting then.
I wrote this @nytimesbusiness story to work thru what I saw @Harvard last year. The undergrads were the same, but different. The recruiting was more intense & the students more professionalized, their understanding of the world understandably more cynical nytimes.com/2024/05/22/busin…

Thrilled that my #AMJ paper with Luke Hedden is out in print 😀 It's about how career advising professionals navigate values tensions with their student clients; they do it by discerning student values and modulating their own values accordingly! journals.aom.org/doi/full/10…
