November 2004 No Carb-Counting for This Student Body
Effective National Football League management is about more than just minding your X’s and O’s. For the past two years NFL executives have visited Stanford to take classes in subjects such as Team Economics and Stadium Management, Negotiation Strategies and Tactics, and Foundations of Team Effectiveness. Directed by GSB professor George Foster and Football Hall of Fame coach Bill Walsh, the one-week, custom-designed NFL–Stanford Executive Education Program has brought together leaders of the league and all 32 NFL teams. The program has been not without its problems, however. Last year there were complaints about the food. Quality wasn’t the problem; it was quantity. Portions at the Vidalakis Dining Room apparently left some participants yearning for the training tables of yore. Not surprisingly, Exec Ed rose to the occasion. This year, the NFL program participants’ portions grew by 50 percent. In a further bow to the boys of autumn, the written menu changed as well. One example: Last year’s “potatoes au gratin” returned this year as “scalloped potatoes.” The following week they reappeared as just plain “potatoes.” |
