The appropriate way to teach the management curriculum depends on the learning outcomes one seeks to accomplish. This article develops a model that depicts teaching style in terms of participation and influence in the classroom. Five learning outcomes (facts, methods judgment, skills, and creativity) are paired with appropriate teacher/student relationships. The teacher/student relationship is potentially an experience in empowerment. As students move from the acquisition of facts to developing skills and creating for themselves their capacity to influence, the learning process increases. The reader is provided with practical as well as conceptual examples of the teaching and learning process.
