RiskRewardNews recently sat down with Bill George, former Medtronic CEO, current Exxon and Goldman Sachs board member, best-selling author on leadership and a teacher at the Harvard Business School. In Part II of our interview Bill opines about risks we overlooked, failures of leadership, lessons not learned and the culture clash within business schools. Here is a sample of what he had to say:
"We’ve lost sight of the fact that it still takes just as long as it ever did to create a new microprocessor, a new car, a new drug, a new medical device."
"...either an incredible series of three Black Swans coming in simultaneously... or alternatively, the models are wrong."
"...either an incredible series of three Black Swans coming in simultaneously... or alternatively, the models are wrong."
"You should not let the process be dominated by people who think they're smarter than everyone else."
"There is a split or dichotomy in almost every business school between the finance faculties and the people (teaching business ethics)."
