If he compiled his daily "to do" lists and published them in hardcover, I'd be the first person in line at my local Barnes & Noble to buy it. So I was thrilled when he agreed to be a guest blogger for Bloomberg Businessweek. I'm even more thrilled when he files his posts every other week. It's a rare writer who can somehow make the leap from a Shakespearean play set in 15th century England to 21st century Harvard, as Bennis does in his latest post, but leap he does. And in 10 words no less. In Dean Nitin Nohria at Harvard Business School, Bennis finds a kindred spirit, one who places practical knowledge above scholarly research-doing above knowing-at the center of the business school experience. This of course is a long-standing debate in the B-school world, one that Bennis (and co-author James O'Toole) provoked in 2005 with their Harvard Business Review article, "How Business Schools Lost Their Way." But Nohria's curriculum changes at Harvard give it a new urgency, and Bennis a new reason to apply his razor sharp intelligence to the issue. If you read one business school story this week, make it this one. You won't be disappointed.
