Poet Management Scholar : Jasmine Kang

We are often encouraged to keep our creative selves separate from our professional lives – as if artistry and management belong in different worlds. But I find myself asking – can the two co-exist? What if I am a poet who works in management?

After nearly twenty years in management, I began a new chapter as Doctorate in Business Administration student. Early in this journey, I have found a powerful intersection between theory and creativity through poetry.

Poetry has long been my way of making sense of the world. Over the years, my writing has evolved from life reflections to nature-inspired verses to faith-based explorations. Now, I step into a new genre: management poetry.

This blog is where I’ll reflect on my experiences as a management scholar. It will be sprinkled with poems that help me process what I’m learning and illuminate this new path I’ve embarked on.
