ESCP Europe Business School

Biography

A graduate (Ph.D) of Trinity College Dublin, economist and former supplier account manager at the Electricity Supply Board in Dublin, Leslie Shaw pioneered negotiation skills training in France in the 1980s when he developed his Negotiation Bootcamp for the Alcatel-Alsthom group. Subsequently included in the curriculum at ESCP Europe, it has been delivered to thousands of participants from around the globe. In addition to negotiation, his areas of competence include conflict management, leadership, decisionmaking, change management and organizational behaviour.

 

Dr. Shaw describes his approach to teaching as a combination of the Human Relations school of the 1930s and the cognitive perspective that is the hallmark of business education in the 21st century. His courses, focused on skills rather than knowledge acquisition, are delivered using action learning, original methodologies and case studies grounded in real business transactions and events.

 

He has presented at academic conferences in Paris, Berlin, London, Krakow, Jerusalem, Los Angeles, Boston, Washington D.C. and Toronto. In 2015 he conducted a survey on social intelligence of founding CEOs of Irish startups on behalf of the Center for Advanced Studies in Management at the University of Western Kentucky.

 

Dr. Shaw is President of the Forum on Islamic Radicalism and Management and Vice President of Global Conference on Advances in Management, a network of academics and practitioners. In July 2016 he organized a groundbreaking conference at the United States Congress on Capitol Hill on the subject of Islamic Radicalism in the Workplace.This event brought together the world's most informed experts on Islamic radicalism and workplace security  to meet with executives from the private and public sectors.

Overview

Leslie Shaw joined the Yang-Tan Institute in the School of Industrial and Labor Relations in January, 2018. A quantitative psychologist, she has expertise in longitudinal analyses and structural equation modeling. Leslie also has experience with randomized control trials, program evaluation, data management, measure validation and norming, and secondary data analysis. While obtaining her Ph.D., she worked at the Beach Center on Disability and the KU Center on Developmental Disabilities on research related to self-determination, transition services, and support needs for youth and adults with intellectual disability. She is currently working on the NYS PROMISE (Promoting the Readiness of Minors in Supplemental Security Income) and support the Vocational Rehabilitation Youth Technical Assistance Centers (VR Y-TAC).

Teaching Statement

My teaching approach starts with the knowledge and skills I want my students to have gained when they walk out of the classroom at the end of the semester. To support the learning of germane topics, I address relevance and carefully consider how best to organize and present the material. Having taught both undergraduate and graduate students, I understand how relevance depends on who is in the classroom. Under-girding it all, I set and communicate expectations of classroom behavior and assignment completion so that students have opportunities to set goals and visualize a clear path to success.

Research Statement

Broadly, I am interested in longitudinal models in order to analyze change. Common models used in psychology are repeated measures analysis of variance, hierarchical linear model growth curves, latent growth curve models, panel models, latent change score models, and growth mixture models. These last four model types can be estimated with observed or latent variables in a structural equation modeling framework. Time series models of individuals or groups are more common in political science and econometrics but their popularity is growing in psychology as the cost of data collecting repeated measures can be greatly reduced with the use of mobile technology. I like determining which model to use to best answer the relevant research question and exploring the robustness of each model to misspecification.
