This past year, the Kellogg School of Management
attracted several outstanding leaders in business including
Sam Zell, A.G. Lafley, Jamie Dimon and Carly Fiorina, to
name a few. They provided valuable real-world knowledge to
our students, the young men and women who will set the standards
for leadership in the future. This guide is a supplement
to what you - the graduating students and alumni - have learned
during your time at Kellogg. Through insightful articles
written from a practical perspective, business leaders (including
Kellogg alumni) and faculty members guide you through the
elements of effective leadership, leadership challenges,
essential leadership skills, and potential future leadership
opportunities and trends.
The 2007 Kellogg Guide to Practical
Leadership is made possible through the dedicated work
of Tarun Arora and Rashmi Singhal (Class of 2007), and Trevor
Henry and Minit Gupta (Class of 2008). Their efforts demonstrate
the teamwork and leadership skills that contribute to the
Kellogg School's global reputation.
The
2007 Kellogg Guide to Practical Leadership is an
important resource in addressing critical leadership issues,
and it is one indication of how the Kellogg School combines
rigor and relevance in our approach to management education.
