（本篇看似长文，其实后半都是学校的课名与说明。）
继上篇，对于楼主这种能入无人之境，却苦寻不着人生意义及领导动机的超级赛亚人，就会因为看似“挑战不足”的英雄无用武之地，而出现像楼主这样的垂头丧志。其实主要问题有两个：
一是尚未接触过生涯管理专业，所导致的自我了解不足，以至于不知生涯方向与其意义，这部分可以用“生涯三要素（兴趣技能、性格养成、专业技能培养）”来解决，会在下篇讨论;
二是所处环境并不是高端战场，以至于杀鸡用牛刀，才会“英雄无用武之地”。
这种时候，就会需要顶尖MBA，一方面战场才够高端，有够大的战场能让超级赛亚人施展拳脚。
但其实另一方面在于：这种超大强度的人生领导哲学，已经探讨到事物本质、甚至人生的本质哲学，甚至就算M7，也不到一半的学校有能力探讨。这并不是一般学校教得来的。
这部分叫做“超高阶选校”。
众所皆知，商学院是在培养国际领导人的摇篮。
然而，一般商学院所教的领导力，多半是案例中的分析与技巧。
偏偏这些成功领导人所处的时空环境，并不是量化或质化分析就能一探究竟或复制的，而是在于复杂的人格养成，并且时势造英雄，英雄造时势。不然历史上就不会只有一个乔丹，也不会只有一个贾伯斯或Lady Gaga了。
那么还能怎么办呢？
当然还是要穷就一切人类已知的研究方法，来一窥领导力究竟。
这也是商学教育、甚至领导教育的根本意义。
领导力范畴极其庞大，并且这世界上没人知道什么叫做领导力，所以大家都在研究。
而有能力超脱管理技巧、而穷究领导力本质的学校没有几间，大概只有哈佛、史丹佛、耶鲁、杜克等，有特殊专长琢磨领导力本质。
以下直接罗列这些学校的课程。
哈佛由于本身就是全球教学龙头，因而反而比较穷究领导的目的与方法，比较少讨论领导力本质，或许是需要领导的情境太多了，也或许是因为能力越强责任越重，因此没有太多时间讨论这个问题，当然还是有几门经典课程。
哈佛有一门课叫做“Authentic Leader Development”，连结与说明如下，简单说就是生涯三要素的最高境界：无欲则刚。
要达到如此境界，必须要穷究自身的生涯三要素：兴趣技能分项为何？性格养成的认同动力学出自为何（多半是父母与手足）？

If you spend time reflecting on some of the following challenges, you might consider taking ALD:
I am 26 years old; I have lived for my resume. I am proud of what I have accomplished, but is that really all there is to it? What do I live for now?
I seek public success and approval; my achievement masks deeper insecurities.
I need to appear “strong” and “perfect.” I rarely open up or ask for help. These actions are signs of weakness to me.
Why do I obsess about my image?
Why am I afraid to tell you who I really am?
I obsess about status and money, but don’t have the courage to pursue my personal passions. I’m not even sure anymore what they are.
Course Premise:
To the extent that you have a clearer sense of:
who you are, your life story, your values & principles, your motivations and passions, your leadership purpose, your True North.
When it comes time to lead you will be more likely to:
1) step up,
2) lead effectively, and
3) live a more integrated & meaningful life.
事实上，根据笔者长年生涯咨商经验所汇整的“情绪流体理论”，人的个性来自求生过程的制约，透过“四定律、四本能”的流体运动规则，可以有效找出每个人的具体生涯驱力与目标。
同时，会发现每个人从当前境界与生涯目标之间所欠缺的领导力技能都不同，而需要客制化培训或选校。
哈佛还有其他几门相对接近的课程，如：
The Moral Leader
Creating Shared Value: Competitive Advantage through Social Impact
Reimagining Capitalism: Business and Big Problems
Managing, Organizing & Motivating for Value
-
而Yale因为其自身也是责任重大，但由于学校品牌人格上较为深层，因此有较多对领导力本质的讨论。
在学校的Mission & Objectives中，其中一个关键是 Leadership & Teams，概略分为“修身、齐家、治国、平天下”的概念。
其中修身Individual:
Develop the individual skills, knowledge, and expertise to deeply understand your industry and organization. Understand your own values, strengths, and weaknesses. Get the insights into negotiation and human behavior that you need to communicate and persuade.
然后到Team，再到Organization，最后到Global & Society
其中有位关键人物叫做 Prof. Amy Wrzesniewski，常年出产大量关于工作满足与使命的相关研究，包含以下课程与研究：
Jobs, Careers, and Callings: People’s Relations to Their Work
http://faculty.som.yale.edu/amywrzesniewski/documents/Jobscareersandcallings.pdf
重点内容有：
- Callings
- Career as a calling
- On the meaning of work: A theoretical integration and review
Careers and callings: How work meanings shape job transitions;
- How work shapes well-being
- If I could turn back time: Occupational regret and its consequences for work and life
- Being valued and devalued at work: A social valuing perspective
- Job crafting and cultivating positive meaning and identity in work
- I won't let you down or will I? Core self-evaluations, other-orientation, anticipated guilt and gratitude, and job performance
- Turn the job you have into the job you want
- Interpersonal sensemaking and the meaning of work
- Courage and work: Breaking routines to improve performance
- It's Not Just a Job
而耶鲁的Leadership Thinking and Practice训练，则是由小而大做练习：
Individual Level
examples: Values and leadership commitments, knowledge of personal strengths and weaknesses
Interpersonal/Team Level
examples: Giving/receiving feedback, emotional intelligence, communication, diversity
Organizational Level
examples: Developing and implementing vision and strategy, organizational design and organizational culture
Global Level
examples: Building and sustaining community, ethics, social responsibility and accountability, cultural awareness
Leadership Fundamentals:
"...about leading yourself. Content will be drawn from the field of applied social psychology and will include information on basic adult development, leader development processes, and the effect of major life events on development and leadership. Self-development, self-regulation, and goal setting comprise a major design element and focus of the course.”
还有Designing & Leading Organizations课程，算是进阶版。
