Was watching Schumi at the US grand prix and suzuka today... Makes me wonder how this guy keeps his motivation going! Inspite of a record 6th title...

Today was the dean's forum and Dean Vijay Manajan was there in person, updating us about the changes in the board, additions, efforts being taken to boost international placements, the financial status, etc...

The ISB leadership summit is also in full flow... entries for variou events are trickling in... I am coordinating the technology paper presentation...

Today was also another busy day in terms of classes and CP... we discussed Jack Welch and GE... it was very good because we had amidst us, one person who had worked in GE... He explained to us how "workouts" happen, how GE goes about changing habits of employees, how it implements six sigma and the point of view of an employee about the boundary less organization... I had read "straight from the gut" but a first hand perspective from an ex-employee was truly worth the class...
