Synopsis

* Mp3 CD Format *. As One L did for Harvard Law School, Ahead of the Curve does for Harvard Business School: providing an incisive student's-eye view that pulls the veil away from this vaunted institution and probes the methods it uses to make its students into the elite of the business world.

The Washington Post - Bryan Burrough

Ahead of the Curve offers a good sense of Harvard Business School's day-to-day workings, everything from what the other students are like to the merits of each lecturer to impressions of business titans such as Warren Buffett and Stephen Schwarzman, who revolve through the doors offering pointers on how to get filthy rich. Broughton makes a delightfully clueless guide.

September 16, 2008: Ahead of the Curve offers a good sense of Harvard Business School's day-to-day workings, everything from what the other students are like to the merits of each lecturer to impressions of business titans such as Warren Buffett and Stephen Schwarzman, who revolve through the doors offering pointers on how to get filthy rich. Broughton makes a delightfully clueless guide. It's so rare to see the inner workings of an institution that is everything to business, and it's a great way for an outsider to 'sharpen the saw' and brush up on leadership skills. Two other 'must haves' I've added to my leadership toolbox recently are Squawk!: How to Stop Making Noise and Start Getting Results and The Emotional Intelligence Quick Book
