    I am attaching the syllabus I used for my MBA course: Power, Influence and Leadership. I draw on a variety of sources in the course and also have a multi-phased self assessment required. This course was consistently rated as one of the most meaningful courses the students took in the program.
     
    The spiritual dimension of leadership is covered as well with the assignment of my article, Legacy Leadership: The Leadership Wisdom of the Apostle Paul, which was published in The Leadership Quarterly.

    I am taking my course to the curriculum committee, via the Department of Management.  Two faculty members contend that a leadership course should contain only what has been empirically proven and published in top tier academic journals. 

    One told me that stimulating students to reflect on who they are and what they believe/value should only be done by a certified clinical psychologist.  (I'm not making this up.)

     

    The existence of MSR as a legitimate part of AOM does not mean that it is accepted as a reference for building a leadership course that aims to address the whole person.

     

    That said, I'd be grateful for any examples of similar courses that have been accepted as part of the curriculum.  Or all we all operating in the margins?

     

    Thanks,

    In the early part of the last decade I often cited the presence of MSR to legitimate my attention to its concerns as being legitimate within the Academy of Management.

    Dear MSR members:

    In conversation last evening with others involved in a bit of MSR history research, Stacie Chappell came up with a question so interesting I promised to post it to listserv, due credit having been noted. The questions is simple: has anyone ever referenced MSR as a basis or rationale for research? If you have, might you let us know by a reply post to the listserv itself? We may often wonder what MSR does and is, but we've really not done much to see what it has been used for by others to effect.

    Thanks!
