This is the type of interview I envisioned when I conceived of the idea for “Next Big Thinker” from which this show was created. Focusing on “rising stars” in business thought leadership introduces us to new thinking and approaches to teaching that are creative and engaging. The next generation of leaders is learning in different ways and has a different set of expectations when they enter the classroom. John Sumanth is a terrific example of a business school professor who is at the forefront of research and teaching today.
