Werner Erhard, Michael C. Jensen, and and Kari L. Granger have created a fascinating course that teaches leadership. Teaching is probably the wrong word since they use an ontological approach (ontology is the science of being and their model "reveals the actual nature of being when one is being a leader and opens up and reveals the source of one’s actions when exercising leadership.”)

wdywft,

I have never read a finer article on this subject. Kudos. until now I did not understand what Ontology was, I just remember a strange phrase from years ago in school which has stayed in my mind: "Ontology Recapitulates Phylogeny."

Great article!

Phy...who?!! :) I won't even try to go there...

I still can't wrap my head around all of it, but it's so intriguing.

Thanks for reading and commenting! - Much appreciated

Very Interesting! I'll answer your closing question w/a question for the future: In 10 years will this make as much sense to you as it does now?

Ha - love it! (most likely not)

"Is the model too abstract to become popular/too lengthy to be taught at Hamburger University?" - thanks for bringing that up!
