Hello Sargam - I love the idea of a PDW on using poetry and music in the management classroom! As the MSR 2018 PDW Chair, I would like to encourage you to reach out to those who have responded to your post and ask them to be involved with you in putting something together. I am happy to chat with you about how you could co-ordinate and pull together a proposal that would enable you to learn more about this and share it with the rest of us in the process!
Stacie

Also in 2014 Debra was the Chair of the AOM Program and chose the Theme to be "Power of Words" During the Sunday morning Presidential Program she introduce the Theme to the audience – (all those attending AOM) . She started with a few words and then said the rest of your presentation would be in the form of POEM. See the attachment of that POEM.

Wow! Thank you.
Sargam,
I sometimes play popular ballads for students. One of my favorites is a Ben Folds song called Fred Jones, part 2.
In the song, the aging Mr. Jones is being let go from work while all these young folks are "taking his place."
It's emotional and it helps my younger students put themselves into the place of an older worker whose skills may be becoming obsolete and who may feel like he's losing his grip on his work, and the world in general. The line near the end .. "he's forgotten, but not yet gone" is really powerful. I have to hold back tears every time I play it.
With all these suggestions I wonder if there is need for an anthology of poetry and lyrics that could be pulled together for teaching business topics. This sounds like maybe a nice topic for the Academy Conference. I'd attend a session on this.

In the specific instance of business and strategy
(a) heighten ethical awareness and willingness
(b) inspiring the students for thinking just and compassionate business spaces
(e.g. I often use the Nursery Rhyme Ba Ba Blacksheep to sensitize the students of business
toward the necessity of equitable businesses and equal spaces)
Dear Sagram,
At the moment, I am participating in a project that aims to develop art-based exercises for servant leadership development.

Would you know of any work that links poetry and business in some way, specifically how poetry can impact students' understanding of business and strategy.
Any ideas/inputs are welcome.
