“When hiring candidates, I look for the ability to deal with ambiguity, leadership potential and breadth. A broad vision, a high energy level, a ‘street smart’ understanding and a willingness to ‘roll up the sleeves’ are essential. My experience is that the IMD MBA does a good job in preparing candidates for these important roles.”
