One of our IMBA students, Thom Feldhacker, provided the following thoughtful synthesis of leadership in light of our Asian experience. Following are his words.
Al Gini posted an entry on his blog about leadership and the pope: http://blogs.luc.edu/gsb/2014/04/14/pope-francis-on-leadership/. Upon our return from Asia, leadership has been on the minds of many in the cohort and yet […]
Our group of Quinlan Intercontinental MBA Pioneers are participating in this weekend’s graduation festivities with family and friends. These full time students have almost completed their intensive year-long degree requirements. After the summer term, they will energetically more forward with their careers and their personal lives.
As we experience the seasonal spring that has followed a […]
Most of us are now back in the U.S. after our five-week Asian Odyssey. One of our students, Rich Reitenbach, produced a cogent summery of the experience. So today, Rich will be our Guest Blogger. The following words are his, with the disclaimer that his extensive use of “we” may not reflect the specific views […]
The following is an entry from another guest blogger, Rudy Birtler. Rudy is an Intercontinental MBA Student who comments on our group experience in Hanoi:
Just as we became comfortable navigating Beijing and had the rudimentary communication skills mastered to get us to and from our hotel, the embassy and the hospital, we all piled into […]
Saba Ahmed is one of the students in our Intercontinental MBA cohort. As we complete our 5-week Asia residency, Saba shares her impressions of our time in China. The following are her words:
We can talk about this until we’re blue, read all the books, observe all the people, but the only way we’ll understand fundamental […]
Our final farewell to Thailand was a memorable full-day on an eco-tour aboard a large boat and ocean kayaks near Phuket. The guides took us through caves into beautiful lagoons surrounded by monoliths of sandstone where mangrove trees thrive and the inhabitant were tropical birds and ocean life. (We were told the monkeys must be […]
The morning of the New Year of the Horse, we left Cambodia and flew to Bangkok. Here we encountered the local custom of throwing water on passersby as part of the holiday celebration. This does not involve squirt guns or water balloons; we are talking about people with large buckets and hoses. We dodged the […]
Our IMBA group has spent the last two days in and around Seam Reep, Cambodia. A highlight was touring Angkor Wat, the most famous and best restored temple among the 95 that make up this 12th century complex. Certainly the glory that was the Empire here in the 1100s matched or eclipsed that of Europe. […]
After two weeks of getting our bearings in Beijing, our group of IMBA Pioneers has moved from China for two weeks in Southeast Asia. Our first stop in Vietnam was Hanoi — appropriately dubbed Ha-noisy. The streets were crowded with scooters and motorbikes. Crossing the streets was an adventure. Our patient guide encouraged is to […]
Near the conclusion of our two-week stay in Beijing we ventured out of the city for a morning on the Great Wall. No visit to China is complete without spending time gazing in awe and climbing this made-made wonder. At one time it stretched approximate 5,500 miles across China and is over 2,000 years […]
