I’m not sure if people feel the word leadership has being thrown around so much, and for any context, that at times it loses some meaning. That you become one – a leader – just by reading or repeating the word enough times. Or, that just by doing an activity, or an MBA for that […]
Last weekend was an interesting weekend. It was the 1st #IBMWatson Competition outside of the US. The event was held at HEC Paris.
