End the University as We Know It

Professor Mark Taylor of Columbia University sparked some vigorous debate in the halls of higher education this week with this thought-provoking op-ed in the New York Times. It's worth reading, not only by faculty members around the country, but also by students and parents as well.

About Me

I am the Trustee Professor of Management at Bryant University in Smithfield, RI. I joined the faculty after serving for six years on the faculty at Harvard Business School.

My research, teaching, and consulting focuses on leadership, with a particular emphasis on decision-making and teams. I have published two books based upon my research: Why Great Leaders Don't Take Yes For An Answer (2nd edition to be released in May 2013), and Know What You Don't Know (2009).
