Yesterday I was invited to have lunch with the Distinguished Professors of Harvard Business School in the HBS faculty dining room. I took two leaders from my team – Principal and Managing Director.
Somehow, I have had close association with Harvard over the years – hired many from Harvard Business School, Harvard Law School and Harvard Medical School. I have also fired quite a few people from this institution in the past (for all the right reasons). Continue to have many in my group from HBS. Last week was invited for coffee at Harvard Club in Manhattan by a CEO friend (of a global company) who introduced me to another CEO. One of my very important mentors is from the HBS - Class of 58. Someone in their Blog entry mentioned about the book which mentioned about the importance of HBS - Class of 58.
Leaders from HBS want to form a close association with us as we focus on bringing business innovation in the industry. We agreed to work closely with HBS, they will lead publication of some of the business innovation, will be sending their selected higher education students to work in our team, etc. At the conclusion of the meeting, the faculty gave us a tour of HBS and it key archives. It was truely a privilege.
I am not sure everyone knows that our dear Sanjay also completed a leadership course at HBS in the recent past. I have also decided to signup for some advanced management education at HBS next year.
As I walked out of the meeting yesterday, I could not resist to take a picture of HBS main bldg (meeting place) on my cell phone which I share with you.
