About the Author
Dr. Fred Lang has been teaching in both the traditional bricks and mortar classroom and the clicks and mortar online classroom for over twenty years. During those years, he taught a variety of business and leadership courses that spanned the gamut from Global Business Strategies and Strategic Marketing to Management and Leadership Theory. In the early 1990s, he became one of the early pioneers in teaching online or Internet-based courses for the University of Phoenix. He has been teaching the elements of leadership theory exclusively, as part of a university doctoral program in the Internet classroom, since early 2000. He received his Ph.D. from the California Institute of Integral Studies in San Francisco in 2000 and his doctoral dissertation was entitled Distance Learning: Designing New Frontiers in Education.
