The MBA Office is currently looking to staff two fall courses which are part of our professional development program called PPE (Personal & Professional Effectiveness). These two fall courses are delivered to our full-time MBA Corporate Residency students. The MBA Corporate Residency is a career launching program. The goal of BUSI 5003x Self-Management & Engagement is to get students ready to thrive on their 8-month residency co-operative education experience with a major corporate employer. The course focuses on understanding team dynamics, managing conflict, communication skills and giving / receiving feedback. The goal of BUSI 5004x Creativity & Complexity is to debrief the corporate residency experience as a group, focus on developing skills and experiences in the areas of creative practice, design leadership, facilitation skills and navigating complexity. We have a strong interest in hiring someone who has a “coaching background”, who will take a coaching approach rather than a “sage on the stage” approach to the course.  The Part-Time academic will be responsible for all aspects of teaching and administering the class, including lectures and evaluation.  The part-time academic should be available for a three-hour lecture and two hours per week for consultation with students. Additional meetings with the team of faculty teaching fall MBA courses may be required (approximately 1.5 hours / month).  The part-time academic reports to the Director of the Rowe School of Business, but will also liaise with the Director, MBA Programs and will sit on the Fall MBA Corporate Residency Curriculum committee.
