Member of our Leadership Advisory Council and Executive Director of the Valerie Fund, Barry Kirschner shared this wonderful article with the Leadership Team from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. This compilation of articles gives real world examples of many facets of business and their impact on the complexity of the system they are a part of.
These are invaluable insights that help us on our journey to understand the world beyond ourselves and college and how different types of decisions, mentalities, and behaviors are crucial to success and changes in any field. As we will one day take the positions of these leaders, we should be knowledgeable of the state of affairs that we will one day enter into and have plans and personal strategies to be proactive in this system.
Executives like Barry Kirschner facilitate this process for us by giving us such opportunities to indulge ourselves in new perspectives and information that we may not have been exposed to before. Thank you, Barry, for sending this our way and especially for helping us find the “gems that are buried in that article.”
