Special Class for Major Donors

A lively dialogue led by Professor Rod Kramer reconnected alumni and friends of the School via a traditional classroom setting in May. Kramer told a group of major annual donors that "there is a thin line between genius and folly. The same traits that help leaders rise to the top often lead to their demise once they arrive."

He engaged the group in an interactive session titled "All Fall Down? Why So Many High-Flying Leaders Are Taking a Fall." Drawing on such examples as Lyndon B. Johnson and Richard Nixon, Kramer facilitated a spirited discussion about history and how frequently we have witnessed these transgressions.
