Further background information on participants:
Nitin Nohria
Dr. Nitin Nohria is the tenth and current dean of Harvard Business School. He is also the George F. Baker Professor of Business Administration, co-chair of the Harvard Business School Leadership Initiative, and a member of the executive committee for the University's interfaculty initiative on advanced leadership. Nohria?s appointment in 2010 was seen by some commentators as a positive reaction to the recently publicized ethical problems faced by business leaders. His intellectual interests center on human motivation, leadership, corporate transformation and accountability, and sustainable economic and human performance. ?He is co-author or co-editor of 16 books and the author of over 50 journal articles, book chapters, cases, working papers, and notes. Nitin is working with fellow Harvard professor RakeshKhurana, the World Economic Forum, and the Aspen Institute to create a business oath, like the ?MBA Oath?, that might be used globally. ?In a Harvard Business Review piece published in October 2008, Khurana and Nohria linked the connection between professionalism of a job and that job?s ability to deliver value to society.
Tom Peters
According to the Wall Street Journal, Tom Peters ?is an enthusiast, a storyteller and a lover of capitalism. He says that effective management is management that delivers more value to customers and more opportunity for service, creativity and growth to workers. He is saying that the decent thing to do is also the smart thing.? His book In Search of Excellence was honored in 1999 by NPR as one of the "Top Three Business Books of the Century;" it was ranked as the "greatest business book of all time" in a poll by Britain's Bloomsbury Publishing, and was the most widely held library book in the United States from 1989 to2006. Peters became a Partner at McKinsey & Co. in 1979 and co-founded McKinsey's Organization Effectiveness practice. In 1981, he left McKinsey to become an independent consultant.
