Mitch Neubert, Associate Professor of Management, Chair of Christian Ethics in Business

I may be professor Neubert around Baylor, but to many kids around Waco, I am coach Neubert. To others I am Jacob, Emily, Rachel, or Bethany’s Dad. My wife Alison and I are blessed to have four wonderful kids who have kept us quite busy through the years, particularly coaching or cheering for them in sports.

When I am not coaching, I spend my time serving in various roles within the Hankamer School of Business. I teach classes related to Principled Leadership for undergraduates and Leading with Integrity for our executive MBA students in Dallas and Austin. In many ways I am a coach as a teacher. I try to help students map out a game plan for their lives as business leaders and offer ideas and feedback to assist them in developing into the leaders that God intends for them to be. A main emphasis of my teaching approach involves focusing on integrity. In other words, I challenge students to be “integrated” by living out their personal values and principles in their professional lives. In my role as the Chavanne Chair of Christian Ethics in Business I provide leadership to several ethics-related initiatives within the business school, which allow students the experience of wrestling with issues related to professional ethics and corporate social responsibilities. If your path leads you to the business school, you will have an opportunity to compete in our ethics competitions: The freshman Ethics SLAM, our internal Ethics Case Competition, or our National MBA Case Competition in Ethical Leadership.

My interest in developing leaders emerged out of my own experiences as a student leader, business professional, ministry director, parent, and elder in a church plant. This heart for coaching and developing leaders has made its way into my research where I study the impact of servant leaders, executive coaches, team leaders, and ethical leaders in business. Personally, I still have a great deal to learn about leading and serving others, but I continue to press on to be the leader God has called me to be. I hope you will join me in the journey.
