Teaching.

Perspective.

I teach across the full spectrum of organizational studies—strategic management, organizational theory, human resources, business ethics, organizational behaviour, and change management—delivering courses in both English and French. My aim is to help students see organizations not as static machines but as living, evolving systems shaped by people, power, culture, paradoxes, and persistent ambiguity. In my graduate teaching, particularly in Ethics in Defence Administration and Organizational Theory, I connect academic insight to the real-world complexities of defence, public leadership, and high-stakes decision environments.

Discernment.

Across all levels, I intentionally cultivate critical thinking, systemic and systematic analysis, and a broader, more discerning perspective. I expose students to diverse theoretical and practical lenses so they can appreciate the many ways to interpret a situation—revealing nuance, contradiction, and the tension-filled paradoxes inherent in human systems. I push them to shift perspectives and question their assumptions. My objective is to move them beyond black-and-white reasoning and easy “three-step solutions,” and toward deeper, more reflective judgment.

Immersion.

To support this, I use innovative pedagogical tools, including simulations, real-life mandates with organizational partners, and virtual-reality experiences that immerse students in complex leadership challenges. These methods help students translate theory into practice and experience the frictions, trade-offs, and competing demands that leaders must navigate.

Unfolding.

My supervision work reflects this same philosophy. I have guided students examining leadership teams, succession planning, moral injury, silos and triadic leadership—often in demanding contexts such as the Canadian Armed Forces and military healthcare systems. These projects help students explore how leadership actually unfolds under pressure, where roles blur, paradoxes multiply, and simple solutions rarely exist.
