What’s up, y’all. I hope you’ve all had a good week so far and are looking forward to a relaxing weekend…because I know I am 
I wanted to give y’all a quick entry before I hop on a plane in the morning and head back to Old Nassau (i.e. Princeton University) to attend this year’s Reunions festivities. This will be my first time there in five years, so it feels pretty weird to be going back. But, it’ll be
What’s good, folks. For those of you in the United States, I hope you had a relaxing Memorial Day holiday off from work and are looking forward to the short week. But, I also hope that, while you were enjoying your day off, you took time to remember the brave men and women of the U.S. Armed Forces who place their lives at risk every day to protect our country. And, in particular, I pray that each of you gave
Hi, everyone. I recently came across a couple of articles that I thought might interest the MBAs and other future business leaders out there. In both cases, the articles were too long to copy into an entry, so I’ve posted some excerpts along with the direct links.
The first article is an op-ed from the New York Times describing a recent study into the qualities that are highly correlated with successful CEOs. At first, I thought I’d be able
Hello all, I hope you had a nice evening and have started off your day well. As you know, I regularly read comments that my readers post on my site and take time to consider all feedback that I receive. This entry is to respond to some feedback that came in and sparked some thoughts. It came in as a posted comment rather than an email, so posting an entry was the only way that I could respond. Here’s
What’s up, peoples. I hope all of you had a nice weekend and got through the first day of the work week alright. Random question…is it just me or does time pass really quickly when you’re doing something that you like? I know that most people dread Mondays, but I actually look forward to them because I dig my job. Seriously, right now, I can’t think of anything that I’d want to change about the gig and this is first
The article below was taken from the website of the Financial Times and was written by the current Dean of the Stanford Graduate School of Business, Robert Joss. It’s hard for me to put into words how big of a fan I am of Dean Joss. First of all, he’s a GSBer through-and-through…a three-time GSB graduate (MS, MBA, and PhD) and is about to wrap up his tenure as Dean of the school after ten years (link to his
What’s good, folk. Gotta love lazy Sundays, right? I’m especially relaxed this weekend after having witnessed the college graduation of my youngest sister, MYP. It had been a long road to graduation for her and my entire family came together to help her through it, so we were all incredibly proud to see her walk across that stage and be recognized for this accomplishment. Even better, she majored in Business Administration, so she just might follow my footsteps into the
What’s going on, y’all. As you know, I enjoy publicizing cool things that my friends do and passing along information that might be helpful or interesting to my readers. Well, I’ve got something in this entry that covers both of these bases.
My long-time readers should remember me mentioning my friend and fellow blogger, John G. in earlier posts. He’s a Univ. of Penn engineering grad and Columbia MBA who works for a Venture Capital firm in NYC. He and I go waaaaaaaaaay back to our dot-com era days at Scient and, even now, we help each… Read the rest
Ahhhh, a short email from a reader…it’s so much easier for me to address these kind of messages This one is from an MBA aspirant who is considering entering the military prior to applying to business school. He’s currently an HR consultant, but doesn’t think his current path doesn’t give him an opportunity to advance. So, he’s thinking of the Navy as a way to get some strong experiences after which he would apply to business school and pursue
What’s up, everyone. Is it just me or have I been posting a whole lot of entries lately? I’ve been going through a period of introspection over the past month or so and have been working through a lot of stuff in my mind during that time. I can’t put it all into words yet, but I’m slowly gaining clarity on many issues that have been dogging me out for a long time now. I guess all of this thinking
