View From The Top

The Dean's speaker series, View From The Top, brings premier leaders to the Business School. 

Supported in part by the F. Kirk Brennan Speaker Series Fund, View From The Top, the Dean’s premier speaker series, brings well-respected leaders from a variety of business, government and social sectors, and from around the world to share their personal reflections and insights on effective leadership with the Stanford Graduate School of Business community. Speakers typically discuss their personal core values, share their lessons learned and their recipe for effective leadership, including reflection on career and life choices. View From The Top is open to the entire Stanford community. View From The Top is a student-led program that aims to create a rich learning experience for current students and translate into lasting impressions for GSB alumni.
