Michael Porter: The Value of Student Leadership Positions

Michael Porter, the Harvard Business School strategy guru, talks about one significant influence in his educational career--a student leadership position that led to business school and his entrance into academia.

His comments were taped on Sept. 21, 2009 during a panel discussion I moderated, entitled "Reflections on Leadership for Social Change," part of the inauguration of Jim Yong Kim as 17th president of Dartmouth College.
