Les has taught a course "Planning the New Venture" to graduate students at the Daniels College of Business the past two fall quarters (08, 09). Student feedback has rated the course highly, in part because of Les' command of the subject and inclusion of current practitioners as guest lecturers and in part because of his willingness to go the distance to help students shape and test out their ideas in the real world of new ventures. If more faculty shared Les' passion for his subject, business schools would be not only more effective but also more fun.
