One passage that I dont understand about executive education program
//
For one of us (David), leading programmes of Executive Education is a real joy and so he became Professor in Leadership past the usual retirement age. Those dynamic discussions with successful and able executives at Henley, Oxford and Harvard Business Schools come to mind. It is stimulating, creative and satisfying to take a brief from a client organisation and turn it into a programme for executives from the client company. Clients can be demanding; finding the right contributors can be a challenge; creating the right flow between the sessions is not straightforward but the satisfaction comes when the design is not just approved but enthusiastically welcomed by the senior players who have commissioned it. The more they are involved, the more difficult to please because they really care about the programme, the greater the effort required but also the greater the reward and the better the programme.
