Schulich Professor Robert G. Lucas Dies: 1944 - 2009

February 26th, 2009
posted by Ryan Rowe

I received the news a few days ago that a popular professor at Schulich passed away.  Unfortunately I did not have the opportunity to study under him, or even meet him.  But upon reading his bio, I was surprised to discover that he was the professor that orchestrated the development of the MBA school’s MGMT 5150 Management Skills course.  It was my first class ever at Schulich and in the weeks that followed, the course set in motion some of the defining learning experiences and themes of my B-school experience, i.e. ‘reframing’ and the ‘15% approach to change’.  Lessons that have stayed with me to this day. 

A copy of the course outline is available here:

Thank you Professor Lucas.

    Rob was a great guy, a teacher that makes you think in a different way, a man who you will never forget after you have met him! I was lucky to have him as professor more than ten years ago and as you say: He taught me lessons that stayed with me to this day. May he rest in peace!

    Greetings

    This man was incredibly great to have as a professor. Had him a couple years ago for Organizational Behaviour. Hardly taught the material, but instead taught about life. Never forget the thing he said to me last day of class “You’re smart kids, stop worrying about life so much right now, you’ll get to where you wanna get… Now get the f*** out of my class room”

    RIP Rob
