  1. Firms get paid for being different. Usefully different. Leaders who can draw this out of firms are the most valuable kind.
  2. Most business school missions focus on producing leaders. The fundamental competitive question becomes: What type of leader do you produce?
  3. Congrats again to our community for recent rankings: among US schools, UG #2 (USNews), Part-Time MBA #3 (Bus. Week) and MBA #1 (Economist).
  4. Berkeley-Haas Professor Hank Chesbrough (books Open Innovation and also Open Business Models) won our Leading Through Innovation award.
  5. Berkeley-Haas transfers as much funding to campus/UC as we receive in state funds. Still, our publicness remains anchored in our values.

  7. Favorite definition of organizational culture: What people do when the manager isn't looking.
  8. Just introduced Nobelist George Akerlof at our annual student-led finance conference here (conf topic: Recovery--What Will It Be Like?)

  17. Favorite idea heard in Asia last week: "I have no legal protection here -- I need to trade on being more ethical."
  18. Day 4 of 4 leader traits: "Serve something larger." MBA=Me Before Anybody is careering limiting and getting more so.
  19. Day 3 of 4 leader traits: "Students always." B-schools working hard to produce fewer grads who feel they've learned all they need to learn.
