Traditional MBA programs boast valuable curricula, accreditation, and networking - but at what cost? Kevin is joined by Nathan Kracklauer, the co-creator of the disruptive 12-week MBA program. They discuss the promises and pitfalls of conventional MBA degrees. Nathan provides an insider's perspective on the core skills every modern leader needs to cultivate - a blend of the numbers and the people. Further, he shares the often-overlooked key to effective decision-making: alignment trumps agreement.
