What do Harry Potter and business have in common? A lot, it turns out! Today the A Suite team got together to gush about our love for all things Harry Potter and to discuss how the Harry Potter books relate to the Ancona model of leadership we learned about in our Leadership Foundations class. Sneak peek: Hermione earns an "Excellent" on her MBA O.W.Ls. while Ron walks away with a "Troll."
"A great way to summarize the story is you’re reluctant to become that hero but you have to. And maybe in the work world you’re reluctant to be the leader, maybe it’s not natural for you to be in charge, but it’s what’s best for the team so you see it through.”
*A Note* We stand strongly opposed to the author's transphobic views. If we've learned anything from the books, it's that there is space and more for everyone in the world of Harry Potter, and we believe the stories belong to those who love and read them.
