EMERGING LEADERS' DIALOGUES CANADA

"There's very little leadership taught on MBA programmes...There's a lot of focus on acquiring technical skills and lots of cerebral input, but the balance between teaching technical and leadership skills needs to be a lot closer...Teaching leadership is a movement not a programme which is why we've moved away from the classroom at Google. We're now putting much more emphasis on experiential learning."
