- Abstract
This article aims to provide insight into MBA lecturers' curriculum interests in relation to the topic of leadership. Central to this inquiry is the exploration of MBA lecturers' beliefs and expectations of leadership learning. An attempt is made to categorize the purpose of leadership study in five English and French MBAs by investigating lecturers' assumptions about what counts as a leadership success in the corporate world. Guided by the work of Habermas on human knowledge interests, the main value of this inquiry is to provide research-based evidence of the prevailing interests in the teaching of leadership in MBA curricula. The analysis reveals that, although driven by different pedagogical motives, the majority of MBA lecturers are not committed to providing participants with a full understanding of leadership that might serve people and society beyond mere business ends.
