At the request of business dean Rob Watson and general education dean Ryan Bartelmay, I invited some business contacts, fellow entrepreneur friends, and the co-founders of my Harvard Alumni Entrepreneurs Club to a focus group on what we business people are looking for in management track candidates.
I also arranged with Dean Watson to have our top business students join in before and after the session, to make professional connections and get career advice.
