The purpose of this essay is to illustrate the value of applying the lessons of successful historical battlefield commanders to teach leadership concepts and theories. This article uses the experience of Napoleon Bonaparte’s Grande Armee at the Battle of Austerlitz to illustrate these concepts. Utilizing Napoleon’s success in this battle as a framework, this essay employs a causal model of leadership to analyze and expound on leadership concepts that can benefit graduate students in Masters of Public Administration (MPA) programs. The leadership causal model emphasizes both descriptive and prescriptive aspects of leadership theory. The implications of this essay are that it provides a theoretical framework in public and non-profit sectors and therefore is an appropriate pedagogical strategy for teaching these concepts in undergraduate and graduate public administration courses. Moreover, the framework allows students to identify the best leadership and management practices in public and non-profit organizations.

通过历史军事领导人的镜头学习领导力课程：在公共管理硕士课程中教授领导力理论和概念的教学方法

本文的目的是说明应用成功的历史战场指挥官的经验教训教授领导概念和理论的价值。本文以拿破仑·波拿巴的大军在奥斯特里茨战役中的经验来说明这些概念。本文以拿破仑在这场战斗中的胜利为框架，运用领导力的因果模型来分析和阐述可以使公共管理硕士（MPA）项目的研究生受益的领导力概念。领导因果模型强调领导理论的描述性和规定性两个方面。本文的意义在于它为公共和非营利部门提供了一个理论框架，因此是在本科和研究生公共管理课程中教授这些概念的适当教学策略。此外，该框架允许学生确定公共和非营利组织中的最佳领导和管理实践。
