Gardner As I reflect on the last 6 years during which I have served as the Editor-in- Chief for Group & Organization Management (GOM), I take great satis- faction in knowing what we – the authors, reviewers, and editors who have contributed to the journal – have achieved as a team. These achievements include the publication of 163 peer-reviewed articles, four special issues, and six Special Conceptual Issues. This has been a time of impressive growth for GOM, as the number of institutional submissions expanded globally from 8387 in 2014 to 10,464 in 2019, a 24.8% increase. Online usage likewise rose dramatically from 141,097 downloads in 2014 to 241,623 in 2019, a 71.2% increase. This growth is also reflected in the number of submissions, which expanded from 254 in 2014 to 351 in 2019, a 38.2% increase. As these metrics indicate, GOM is increasingly viewed by both readers and authors as a re- spected outlet for the dissemination of knowledge about groups, organizations, and management. When I look back at my initial “Greetings from the New Editor” editorial (Gardner, 2015a), it is clear that most of the goals the incoming editorial team set for GOM have been realized. One goal was to increase the number of Associate Editors, initially from three to six, but by 2019 we had 15, and GOM’ s incoming editor, Tom Zagenczyk, has appointed 23! A similar ex- pansion in the size of the Editorial Review Board has been achieved, as we initially increased the size from 67 to 142; by 2019 there were 159, and Tom is expanding it further. So, we have done a good job of attracting more and more talented scholars to provide editorial service to the journal over time. Also important to the success of GOM over the past 6 years has been the creation of a new position – Senior Associate Editor – the duties of which have been executed since its inception at a very high level by Lucy Gilson of the University of Connecticut. I am very fortunate to have had Lucy as my editorial partner throughout my term as Editor. In addition to assisting with the review process, Lucy pursued a number of initiatives in partnership with SAGE to enhance the visibility and accessibility of GOM authors’ research to a broader audience of scholars and practitioners. She has also worked with
