The headlines of the day by The Indian ExpressThis is the Catch up on 3 Things by the Indian Express and I am Ichha SharmaToday is the 27th of May and here are today's headlinesFor the first time, Operation Sindoor — the military strike launched by India earlier this month against terror targets in Pakistan — employed the concept of “red teaming” as part of its operational planning, The Indian Express has learnt. Red teaming involves embedding a small group of experts familiar with the adversary's mindset, tactics and response patterns into the planning process. Their role is to critically challenge the plan, simulate enemy reactions, and help test the robustness of the intended military strategy. According to sources, this is the first time the Indian military has tested this concept in an actual operation, marking a shift in India's strategic doctrine, bringing in a more dynamic and anticipatory approach to such cross-border operations.The Supreme Court Tuesday issued notice to the Centre and states on a petition challenging the Waqf Act, 1995. A bench of Chief Justice of India B R Gavai and Justice A G Masih issued the notice on the plea by Delhi resident Nikhil Upadhyay, and tagged it with a similar petition by Advocate Hari Shankar Jain and another person. Hearing writ petitions challenging the recent amendments made to the Waqf Act, the bench of Chief Justice of India B R Gavai and Justice Masih had earlier asked why the 1995 Act is being challenged now after so many years.The India Meteorological Department (IMD) Tuesday placed Maharashtra's Sindhudurg and Ratnagiri districts under ‘red' alert for the next 24 hours, while Raigad has been kept under an ‘orange' alert. While the ‘red' alert in Mumbai comes to an end today morning, generally cloudy skies, moderate spell of rainfall, accompanied by thunder, lightning, and gusty winds at isolated places will continue throughout the day. In the past 24 hours, the IMD's observatories at Mumbai's Colaba and Santacruz recorded 161.9 mm and 144.2 mm of rainfall – highest 24 hours rainfall recorded since 2021 during the month of May, and second highest in the past decade. According to the BMC, Mumbai's island city recorded 106 mm of rainfall, followed by 72 mm at western suburbs and 63 mm in the eastern suburbs.Even as the Indian Navy and Coast Guard race to contain any oil spill from the MSC Elsa 3 container ship, which sank Sunday, marine biology experts said that authorities must try to contain as much oil and pollution as possible offshore, as onshore clean-up has limitations—especially during the monsoon season. Meanwhile, teams of scientists from the Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute (CMFRI), under the Agriculture Ministry, have fanned out across three locations on Kerala's coast to collect water and sediment samples to examine onshore impacts.A mass shooting was reported in Philadelphia's Fairmount Park on Monday night which left at least two people dead and nine others wounded, reports stated. The incident took place around 10:30pm on Lemon Hill Drive at Poplar Drive. Police have said that at least two of the shooting victims are believed to be juveniles. Police added that all the nine victims of shooting are in a stable condition. The exact age of the victims, who died in the mass shootout in United States' Philadelphia, is not known yet but a police officer during a press briefing said the two deceased victims were adults, a male and a female. The police added that no arrests have been made till now in the mass shooting incident.This was the Catch up on 3 Things by the indian express
In this week's MBA Admissions podcast we began by discussing the recent events and activities that Clear Admit has been involved in, including our MBA Fair in Boston, and online admissions events series that wrapped up last week. More than 600 attendees participated in our most recent virtual event, which included admissions representatives from UPenn / Wharton, Stanford, Texas / McCombs, Columbia and Yale SOM. Graham noted two articles that have been recently published on Clear Admit. The first focuses on the different teaching methods that are used in top MBA programs. The second focuses on financial aid issues relevant to U.S.-based candidates, including FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid). Graham then highlighted two Real Numbers articles that focus on Consumer-Packaged Goods (CPG) and Health Care placements. Graham highlighted five Real Humans alumni spotlights, alums from Yale SOM working at Amazon, IMD working at Disney, Cornell / Johnson working at Invenergy, UPenn / Wharton working at Aepnus Technology, and Chicago / Booth working at American Express. For this week, for the candidate profile review portion of the show, Alex selected two ApplyWire entries and one DecisionWire entry: This week's first MBA admissions candidate has a 695 GMAT and 3.8 GPA. They are seeking a top MBA with goals to pivot to the entertainment industry. This week's second MBA candidate has not yet taken the GMAT, but everything else about their profile looks very strong. Their long-term goal is to develop a chain of dental practices. The final MBA candidate is deciding between Northwestern / Kellogg, with a significant scholarship, and Harvard. They want to work in venture capital or private equity. This episode was recorded in Paris, France and Cornwall, England. It was produced and engineered by the fabulous Dennis Crowley in Philadelphia, USA. Thanks to all of you who've been joining us and please remember to rate and review this show wherever you listen!

This is the Catchup on 3 Things by The Indian Express and I'm Flora Swain.Today is the 19th of May and here are the headlines.1. Supreme Court Rejects Minister's Apology Over Remarks on Colonel Sofiya QureshiThe Supreme Court on Monday rejected Madhya Pradesh Minister Vijay Shah's apology over offensive remarks allegedly directed at Colonel Sofiya Qureshi. The court ordered a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe the matter and stayed Shah's arrest until a status report is submitted on May 28. Criticizing Shah, the bench said, “The entire nation is ashamed.” Shah made controversial comments during a speech near Mhow, indirectly referencing Qureshi. The SIT, to be led by an IG-rank officer, must be formed by 10 am Tuesday, per SC instructions.2. India Foils Drone, Missile Attack on Golden Temple by PakistanThe Indian Army revealed Monday that Pakistan attempted a drone and missile strike on Amritsar's Golden Temple and cities across Punjab on May 7–8, following Indian strikes on terrorist camps under Operation Sindoor. At a press event in Amritsar, the Army displayed debris from intercepted drones and missiles. Indian air defense systems, including upgraded L-70 guns and AKASH missiles, neutralized the threats. Officials emphasized the target was religious and civilian sites, underlining Pakistan's retaliatory intent following India's counter-terrorism operation inside Pakistani territory and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.3. BCCI Pulls Out of ACC Events Amid India-Pakistan TensionsAmid escalating India-Pakistan tensions, the BCCI has decided to withdraw from upcoming Asian Cricket Council (ACC) tournaments, including the Women's Emerging Teams Asia Cup and Men's Asia Cup. The ACC is currently chaired by Pakistan's Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi, which sources say contributed to India's decision. The move reflects India's intent to diplomatically isolate Pakistan's cricket board. The decision could impact the Asia Cup's feasibility, given the financial weight India brings to global cricket events. Sponsors and broadcasters may also reconsider deals if India stays out of the tournament.4. Bengaluru Faces Waterlogging After Year's Heaviest RainfallHeavy rain lashed Bengaluru for over six hours on Sunday night, causing widespread waterlogging and traffic disruptions across the city. Residents described it as the most intense rainfall of the year. Kengeri recorded the highest with 132 mm, according to the Karnataka State Disaster Monitoring Cell. The IMD has issued a ‘yellow alert' for the week, warning of more rain. Traffic police issued advisories for areas in northern Bengaluru including New Bel Road, Yelahanka Circle, Nagawara, and Allalasandra, as commuters dealt with long delays and flooded roads.5. Former President Joe Biden Diagnosed with Advanced Prostate CancerFormer U.S. President Joe Biden has been diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer, his office confirmed Sunday. Doctors reported a Gleason score of 9 (Grade Group 5), indicating metastasis to the bones, but added that the cancer appears hormone-sensitive, offering some treatment hope. Biden, who left office in January, is undergoing evaluations for further management. Global leaders, including Donald Trump and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, expressed their support. Biden's diagnosis adds a personal and public health dimension to the global conversation on cancer awareness.That's all for today. This was the Catchup on 3 Things by The Indian Express.
Few leaders have been trained to ask great questions. That might explain why they tend to be good at certain kinds of questions, and less effective at other kinds. Unfortunately, that hurts their ability to pursue strategic priorities. Arnaud Chevallier, strategy professor at IMD Business School, explains how leaders can break out of that rut and systematically ask five kinds of questions: investigative, speculative, productive, interpretive, and subjective. He shares real-life examples of how asking the right sort of question at a key time can unlock value and propel your organization. With his IMD colleagues Frédéric Dalsace and Jean-Louis Barsoux, Chevallier wrote the HBR article “The Art of Asking Smarter Questions.” Key episode topics include: decision-making, problem solving, active listening, leadership strategic planning Listen to the original HBR IdeaCast episode: Are You Asking the Right Questions?Find more episodes of HBR IdeaCast.Discover 100 years of Harvard Business Review articles, case studies, podcasts, and more at HBR.org.]]>

What if the greatest risk to your organization isn't economic uncertainty, market volatility, or disruptive technology—but the decisions being made in your own boardroom?In this episode of Partnering Leadership, Mahan Tavakoli speaks with Didier Cossin, IMD professor and global expert in board governance, whose book High Performance Boards has become a must-read for senior leaders looking to elevate board effectiveness. Drawing from decades of research, real-world consulting, and cross-disciplinary experience—including economics, risk management, and even poetry—Cossin brings a powerful lens to what leadership at the top should really look like.Cossin argues that governance has been misunderstood by many organizations as a compliance function, rather than what it truly is: a system that shapes the quality of executive decisions. He challenges CEOs and board members to rethink how they engage with one another, what information they rely on, and who actually owns governance performance. The result is a compelling case for boards as enablers of transformation—not just overseers of risk.Throughout the conversation, Cossin shares examples and frameworks that translate theory into practice. He offers clarity on how boards can evolve to meet the complexity of today's environment while helping CEOs make better, faster, and more strategic decisions. From the role of the chair to the structure of board packs to the power of informal intelligence, every element of this conversation is designed to elevate how boards contribute to long-term success.If you are a CEO, board member, or executive leader committed to high-performance leadership and long-term impact, this episode offers both insight and challenge to help you lead more effectively—starting at the top.Actionable TakeawaysHear how Didier Cossin reframes governance as a driver of decision quality—not just risk oversight or compliance.Learn why the chair, not the CEO, is ultimately responsible for board performance—and why that distinction matters.Discover how most boards are overwhelmed with information but still lack the intelligence needed for high-quality decisions.Understand the four levers of board performance—people, information, structure, and culture—and how each one shapes outcomes.Explore how the CEO-chair relationship must be intentionally designed, not assumed, for true alignment and accountability.Find out why board materials should be curated like an executive dashboard—and how overstuffed board books hinder strategic conversations.Learn how boards should evolve from approving strategy to actively shaping it—especially in complex and fast-moving environments.Reflect on how strong governance creates the organizational capacity to adapt, lead, and perform over the long term.Connect with Didier CossinDidier Cossin at IMD Didier Cossin LinkedIn High Performance Boards Connect with Mahan Tavakoli: Mahan Tavakoli Website Mahan Tavakoli on LinkedIn Partnering Leadership Website

For this week, for the candidate profile review portion of the show, Alex selected one ApplyWire entry and two DecisionWire entries: This week's first MBA admissions candidate is clearly non-traditional; for that reason, we discussed some of the approaches that non-traditional candidates need to pursue, including a strong focus on “why MBA” and their goals. This week's second MBA candidate is choosing between Berkeley / Haas and Northwestern / Kellogg's MBAi. They want to do product management in tech, in Texas. The final MBA candidate is choosing between UVA / Darden and NYU / Stern. They have a full-ride scholarship at both and want to purse MBB consulting.

In this episode, Andreas Munk Holm talks with Jim Pulcrano, an entrepreneur turned venture capital educator and professor at IMD Business School. Jim shares how his early startup experience in Switzerland pulled him into the orbit of venture capital back when the ecosystem was still in its infancy. He talks about creating IMD's VC Asset Management Program, which aims to give LPs a crash course in venture, teaching them both the appeal and the real difficulty of being a GP. It's a fresh look at how education can bridge the knowledge gap between conservative allocators and the fast-moving world of startups.Jim also shares what he's learned running IMD's startup competition and Swiss scale-up programs. He shares insights from his research into VC behavior, like why less experienced investors are often eager to lead rounds while mid-career ones take a backseat. He explains why experienced GPs tend to source proactively and why most avoid relying too much on HR assessments when evaluating founders.Chapters:01:38 Jim's Journey into Venture Capital02:42 Creating the VC Asset Management Program03:37 Challenges and Strategies in Educating LPs07:24 Understanding Pension Fund Managers16:40 The IMD Starter Competition18:29 Swiss Startups and Silicon Valley20:04 European vs. US Entrepreneurial Ambitions22:50 Can You Teach Venture Capital?25:38 Recognizing Entrepreneurial Potential26:04 Swiss Scale-Up Program Overview26:32 Challenges in Scaling Up27:16 Leadership in Scaling Companies28:05 Venture-Backed vs. Bootstrapped Startups28:57 Founder-Led Companies and VC Opinions31:41 VCs and Lead Investors36:33 VC Experience and Investment Strategies41:17 Evaluating Founders and Teams46:18 Outbound Sourcing by Experienced VCs

Maciej Zientara to wizjonerski przedsiębiorca, anioł biznesu i inwestor z niemal 30-letnim doświadczeniem na polskim rynku kapitałowym oraz 20-letnim w branży nieruchomości. Jako założyciel i siła napędowa Supernova Group, realizuje międzynarodowe projekty inwestycyjne i nieruchomościowe w Polsce, Chorwacji, na Cyprze i w USA, w tym przedsięwzięcia hotelowe i technologiczne. Mimo pragmatycznego podejścia do inwestowania, nie stroni od odważnych decyzji, inwestując w sztuczną inteligencję i przełomowe technologie, które mają potencjał kształtować przyszłość. Partner zarządzający w JRH ASI SA i główny akcjonariusz Soho Development, nadzorował ponad 100 inwestycji kapitałowych oraz spektakularne przejęcia z programu NFI. Supernova Group, pod jego kierunkiem, zrealizowała ponad 50 projektów o wartości przekraczającej 500 mln EUR, a obecnie zarządza portfelem inwestycyjnym wartym ponad 100 mln EUR. Absolwent SGH w Warszawie oraz programów na IESE Business School, Stanford University i IMD, łączy kreatywność z inżynierią finansową, wyznaczając nowe standardy na rynkach inwestycyjnych. Członek Mensy, miłośnik dobrego jedzenia i wina, aktywny sportowiec i mentor, ciągle otwarty na nowe wyzwania. Maciej Zientara to fascynująca postać polskiego biznesu, której historia pokazuje, że sukces często idzie w parze z odwagą podejmowania ryzyka i umiejętnością dostrzegania szans. Pierwszy milion zarobił w wieku 28 lat na inwestowaniu w akcje pracownicze podczas transformacji gospodarczej w Polsce. Jednak to, co wyróżnia jego historię, to nie sama kwota, ale filozofia podejścia do biznesu i życia. Zientara rozpoczął swoją karierę od nietrafionego wyboru - technikum elektronicznego, które ukończył mimo świadomości, że to nie jego droga. Ta pierwsza "porażka" paradoksalnie otworzyła mu drzwi do SGH, gdzie zdobył wykształcenie, które wykorzystał w późniejszej karierze w bankowości inwestycyjnej. Przez lata pracował w czołowych instytucjach finansowych, m.in. w Banku Handlowym i BRE Banku, gdzie uczestniczył w największych transakcjach M&A w Polsce. Jednak przełomowym momentem była decyzja o samodzielności i zainwestowaniu całego majątku w wykup lewarowany NFI. To ryzykowne posunięcie przyniosło mu wielokrotny zwrot z inwestycji. Dziś, w wieku 50 lat, Maciej nie zwalnia tempa. Po sukcesach w nieruchomościach i bolesnych doświadczeniach z biznesem hotelowym podczas pandemii, skierował swoją uwagę na venture capital. Inwestuje w projekty związane ze sztuczną inteligencją, wierząc, że to ostatnia wielka fala technologiczna, na której może jeszcze popłynąć. Jego filozofia biznesowa opiera się na kilku kluczowych zasadach: nieustannym wychodzeniu ze strefy komfortu, współpracy z ludźmi o komplementarnych umiejętnościach i traktowaniu pieniędzy jako narzędzia, nie celu samego w sobie. "Nazywaj czego nie umiesz" - powtarza, podkreślając wagę świadomości własnych ograniczeń i umiejętności dobierania odpowiednich partnerów.

Today's Destination is: Delhi, India Today's Misstep- Stuck in India and missed the bus Travel Advice: Ask a group of people for directions FAQ: You asked me how to get the most reliable weather forecast: Here's how> Use apps like AccuWeather, weather.com, and windy or local services, with hourly and long-range forecasts, radar maps, and severe weather alerts. For more local alerts, sign up for location-based apps on Google Weather or MyRadar. Look for seasonal patterns that are already known. Goa, India has monsoons from June to September. Wind and rain forecasts like windy.com will tell you the wind and wave conditions, especially to help with beach plans. Check for Cyclone Warnings in places like coastal India. Answer: Reliable Weather Apps and Websites: For accurate forecasts, use apps like AccuWeather, Weather.com, Windy, or local Indian weather services (like IMD). Many offer hourly and long-range forecasts, radar maps, and severe weather alerts. Localized Alerts: Sign up for location-based alerts on apps like Google Weather or MyRadar, which provide real-time weather updates for your location. This can be especially helpful for any sudden coastal storms or cyclones. Seasonal Patterns: Since you're going to Goa or nearby coastal regions, familiarize yourself with local weather patterns. For example, Goa experiences the monsoon season from June to September, with dry and sunny weather from October to March. Wind and Rain Forecasts: Coastal areas are affected by both rain and wind speed. Windy.com offers detailed wind and wave conditions, which can help with beach plans. Check for Cyclone Warnings: Especially in coastal India, monitor IMD's cyclone warnings as they provide updates on tropical storms that may affect Goa. Lastly, social media can help by using WhatsApp groups to get firsthand information from locals. Today's destination: Delhi, India Part 1 My visit to Delhi, or New Delhi, India Which is it? New Delhi when referring to the specific district that serves as India's capital. New Delhi is a planned city developed during British rule and officially designated as the capital in 1931. Delhi refers to the larger metropolitan area, encompassing both New Delhi and other historical and residential parts like Old Delhi, which includes the Red Fort and Jama Masjid. Delhi is the correct term when speaking broadly about the city and its culture, so we will use that one here. After two weeks in India, visiting four southern cities, I flew north to Dehli from Goa, barely missing the seasonal monsoons. My flight had a Female co-pilot who Said hello to me with a big smile, which made me happy to see a woman pilot there. The flight attendants checked my boarding tickets. Again, getting off the plane! That was a first. Who checks them getting off the plane? Should I take a Bus, train, or taxi to Agra? Even after arriving, I could not decide. I was overwhelmed with the decisions, but I knew I had to get there. A taxi costs at least $6000 rupees each way, maybe more. Although this sounded like a lot, it was only $72 USD. Bus or train may be best. However, the temperature is

The global world is in the midst of economic uncertainty, shifting workplace dynamics and vast technological change - in no other sector are leaders facing more rapid and substantial challenges than technology. As we look ahead to a new year, recalibrating strategies and setting intentions for success will help tech leaders remain focused, as they set the tone for yet another transformative period. New Year Resolutions for Tech Leaders in 2025 Here are four resolutions that every tech leader should consider this year: Make AI Work For Sustainability AI has huge potential to do good, but when it comes to sustainability, the challenge is clear: "will AI drive sustainability forward or hold it back?" asks José Parra Moyano, contributor to Leading the Sustainable Business Transformation: A Playbook from IMD and Professor of Digital Strategy at IMD Business School. "AI has the potential to revolutionize sustainability efforts by automating complex reporting, turning vast datasets into actionable insights, and streamlining compliance." However, he cautioned that innovation comes with challenges. "AI's energy and water demands are surging; Microsoft's 30% emissions increase tied to expanding AI offerings is a wake-up call. Leaders must champion 'green AI' by prioritizing energy-efficient algorithms, renewable-powered infrastructure, and optimization across AI life cycles." Beyond environmental impacts, Parra Moyano also addressed social implications. "AI threatens to displace jobs, particularly in vulnerable sectors. Tech leaders need to lead the charge on reskilling and upskilling initiatives, ensuring no one is left behind as industries transform." He framed 2025 as a pivotal year: "Tech leaders must commit to a bold resolution: ensuring AI accelerates sustainability rather than undermines it. By embedding responsibility into innovation, tech leaders have the power to ensure AI becomes a transformative force for good - delivering scalable, measurable impact while building a more inclusive and sustainable future." Keep pace with AI, but don't get swept up in new trends Jeremy Campbell is the CEO of Black Isle Group and the creator of Nudge.ai, an AI-powered platform designed to embed organisational learning more effectively. "My own New Year resolution is to try and keep pace with the rapidly evolving AI landscape while staying rooted in our core mission: developing technology that transforms 'learning into lasting habits'." Campbell explained his approach to maintaining this balance, warning against getting swept up in new trends: "With the pace of AI innovation accelerating, regular reflection is essential. I'll dedicate time each week to reviewing new platforms and breakthroughs to ensure our product roadmap focuses on advancements that enhance outcomes rather than just following trends." He also highlights the value of collaboration, saying "The last six months have shown incredible leaps in AI technology, from generative AI to adaptive learning platforms. Moving forward, it's clear that no single organisation can innovate in isolation. By participating in AI groups, networking events, and industry discussions, I aim to not only learn from others but also give back and share insights. Collaboration is the key." Go Easy On Yourself As a tech leader, it's easy to compare your company's success to others. "While there will always be another company growing 5 or 10x what you are, I think it pays to remember that building something worthwhile takes time," says Jono Hey, co-creator of Nutmeg and Zen Educate, and author and illustrator of Big Ideas Little Pictures. He recommends considering these words from Twitter co-founder Biz Stone: 'Timing, perseverance and ten years of trying will eventually make you seem like an overnight success.' "This is from someone who, from the outside view, achieved rapid, outsized success in the tech world. The path to success is often misrepresented. Most companies don't become unicorns, and most suc...

Creating value is table stakes for any business. But is your organization also capturing the value you create? IMD professor Stefan Michel says that many businesses don't actually know how. “Many companies spend a lot of time on innovating, in a sense that they create more value for customers,” he argues. “What they often miss is to think about how to capture that value.” Michel studies marketing and strategy at the Switzerland-based business school. Through his research, he created a framework for defining the value of your innovations. In this episode, he explains how to apply his framework — whether you're developing new business ideas or formulating a strategy to compete with a new entrant in your market. He also discusses how value-capture works in the real world — drawing on examples from companies like Nespresso and Google. Key episode topics include: strategy, innovation, value-based pricing, pricing, value capture, Nespresso, Google, new revenue streams, growth strategy. HBR On Strategy curates the best case studies and conversations with the world's top business and management experts, to help you unlock new ways of doing business.

This is the Catchup on 3 Things by The Indian Express and I'm Flora Swain.Today is the 15th of October and here are the headlines.India strongly refuted Canada's claims on Tuesday regarding evidence of Indian involvement in the assassination of Hardeep Singh Nijjar. Government sources indicated that no specifics had been provided and criticized Canada for shifting the burden of proof onto India. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau previously informed Prime Minister Narendra Modi about the importance of their upcoming national security advisor meeting, but no progress was reported. Indian officials dismissed Canadian assertions as vague accusations, asserting that they are unfounded and misleading.The Election Commission of India announced today that the Maharashtra assembly polls will be held on November 20, while Jharkhand will vote in two phases on November 13 and 20. Results for both elections will be revealed on November 23. The BJP aims to regain power in Maharashtra, where it partners with the Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena, and seeks to gain ground in Jharkhand as well.Heavy rain across Tamil Nadu, including Chennai, led to the cancellation of at least eight flights today, driven by a well-marked low-pressure area over the Bay of Bengal. The state government declared a holiday for schools and colleges in Chennai and surrounding districts. Waterlogging affected several areas, prompting IT companies to implement work-from-home orders from October 15 to 18. Chief Minister M.K. Stalin reviewed preparations and deployed disaster response forces. The IMD warns of extremely heavy rainfall in Tamil Nadu and surrounding areas through October 17.External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar has arrived in Islamabad for the 23rd Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit, marking the first visit by an Indian foreign minister to Pakistan in nearly nine years. This two-day meeting is taking place under heightened security due to recent militant activity. In response, Pakistani authorities have enforced a lockdown in Islamabad and Rawalpindi, declaring a three-day holiday to restrict movement and close key roads, with troops deployed and many businesses shut down to ensure safety for attendees.Israeli military strikes across the Gaza Strip resulted in the deaths of at least 50 Palestinians as operations intensified around Jabalia, focusing on clashes with Hamas fighters. Palestinian health officials reported that 17 people were killed near Al-Falouja in Jabalia, while a missile strike in Bani Suhaila claimed 10 lives. An earlier airstrike in the Sabra suburb of Gaza City destroyed three houses, killing two, with 12 others unaccounted for. Additionally, eight fatalities occurred from a strike in the Nuseirat camp in central Gaza.This was the Catch Up on 3 Things by The Indian Express
In this week's MBA Admissions podcast we began by discussing the activity on MBA LiveWire; Columbia released Round 1 interview invites last week, and several other top MBA programs continue to roll out interview invite decisions. Round 1 application deadlines for this upcoming week include Rice / Jones, The Consortium, Texas / McCombs, Arizona / Carey, Boston / Carroll, Indiana / Kelley and Notre Dame / Mendoza. NYU / Stern has its Round 2 deadline this week. Imperial College is scheduled to release interview invites for its Round 1 candidates and Duke / Fuqua is scheduled to release its final decisions for its Early Action candidates. Graham mentioned this week's webinar focused on MBA programs on the West Coast, including Berkeley / Haas, Stanford, UCLA / Anderson, Washington / Foster and UC / Irvine. Signups are here: https://bit.ly/westcoastmba Clear Admit is also hosting a Real Humans webinar on October 24th, which will include students from Dartmouth / Tuck, Columbia, UVA / Darden and Duke / Fuqua, signups are here: https://bit.ly/rhlive1024 In November and December Clear Admit will be hosting webinars for deferred enrolment candidates, as well as events for candidates applying to Masters in Management programs. Graham then highlighted a recently published admissions tip focused on the five MBA interview questions you need to ace. These are the most common MBA interview questions that most top MBA programs will be asking. Graham then noted three Real Humans stories, focused on MBA students at UNC / Kenan Flagler, IMD and Indiana / Kelley. We then discussed three recently published class profiles, from Berkeley / Haas, Stanford and Washington / Olin. All these class profiles look very good. It is interesting to note that Stanford's median GRE score is the same as the median GRE score at Washington / Olin. We discussed why this may be the case. Haas's stats appear to be impressive for a program that sits just outside the leading M7 MBA programs, much like NYU / Stern's stats that we covered last week. For this week, for the candidate profile review portion of the show, Alex selected three ApplyWire entries: This week's first MBA admissions candidate is from Africa and has a GRE of 332. They also have a graduate degree. They appear to have very solid work experience and are active outside of work. They are targeting Sloan in Round 1, and then additional programs in Round 2. This week's second MBA candidate is from the US military and has a very strong GMAT of 715. We do worry about their 2.9 GPA, for which they did provide some mitigating circumstances. They also have a high GPA in their graduate degree which may help. The final MBA candidate for this week has six years of consulting experience and is also active in their community. They have a GRE score of 294, which may really harm their options. They plan to retake the test and apply in Round 2. They might also consider undertaking some additional coursework. This episode was recorded in Los Angeles, California and Cornwall, England. It was produced and engineered by the fabulous Dennis Crowley in Philadelphia, USA.

“For me, the four H's were a very simple way of outlining what I stood for as a leader.” This is a special episode only available to our podcast subscribers, which we call The Mini Chief. These are short, sharp highlights from our fabulous guests, where you get a 5 to 10 minute snapshot from their full episode. This Mini Chief episode features Mike Schneider, Managing Director of Bunnings Group. His full episode is titled Career diversity, genuine empathy, and the 4Hs of authenticity. You can find the full audio and show notes here:
“The danger for CEOs is to allow yourself to be surrounded by people who tell you how good your ideas are. You actually need a balance of people who tell you when you've got something wrong or if you could have handled something in a different way.” In this Best of Series episode, we replay a chat we had in 2019 with Mike Schneider, the Managing Director of the Bunnings Group, on career diversity, genuine empathy, and the 4Hs of authenticity.
In this week's MBA Admissions podcast we began by discussing the busy season that is upon us; we have several MBA admissions deadlines upcoming this week; Georgetown / McDonough and Johns Hopkins / Carey have their Early Action round deadlines. Stanford, Michigan / Ross, Columbia, Yale SOM, INSEAD, Northwestern / Kellogg and Berkeley / Haas have their Round 1 application deadlines. The Clear Admit “Inside the MBA Admissions Process” event series begins this week and runs for three weeks, on September 11th, 18th and 25th. Our first event includes INSEAD, London Business School, UPenn / Wharton, Emory / Goizueta and Michigan / Ross. Signups are here: https://bit.ly/insidemba Graham highlighted recent news from GMAC, which is launching a new writing exam, now that the AWA element of the traditional GMAT test has been eliminated. We discussed Harvard admissions team's desire to see a writing sample for all its candidates. Graham then highlighted several admissions-related articles that have been recently published on Clear Admit. They include admissions tips focused on GMAT and GRE test waivers (don't if you are able to take a test) and MBA programs which don't require the test (we still encourage candidates to take a test). Admissions tips that focus on video essays, which are becoming more popular, and the need to avoid comparing your target MBA program with other programs, through the admissions process. Finally, Graham noted an in-depth survey of visa requirements for international MBA students who plan to study outside their home country. Graham highlighted three Adcom Q&As, from IMD, Vanderbilt / Owen and Cornell / Johnson. We then discussed two recently published class profiles. UCLA / Anderson experienced an incredible 41% increase in application volume last season, and Duke / Fuqua was able to recruit a class where female enrolment eclipsed 50% for the first time. Both these class profiles are very impressive. For this week, for the candidate profile review portion of the show, Alex selected two ApplyWire entries and a Question from LiveWire: This week's first MBA admissions candidate is going to be sponsored for their MBA by a “big 4” consulting firm. They appear to have done very well at work, and they also have a very good profile for sustainability initiatives. Their numbers, 3.3 GPA and 690 GMAT, are a potential area of concern. This week's second MBA candidate enlisted in the military straight out of high school. Once they completed their military service they started their undergraduate degree at a community college, they have now transferred to Stanford, and are studying Mechanical Engineering. We anticipate they have a very interesting “lived experience” that may play well in MBA admissions. The final MBA candidate for this week posed a question on MBA LiveWire regarding their reapplication process. They are planning to retake the GRE, as well as transition to a new job. The question is whether to apply in Round 1 or Round 2. This episode was recorded in Paris, France and Cornwall, England. It was produced and engineered by the fabulous Dennis Crowley in Philadelphia, USA. Thanks to all of you who've been joining us and please remember to rate and review this show wherever you listen!

Rescue operations are underway across the state, where the rain fury has claimed about 35 lives since Monday. The Army and Indian Coast Guard have been evacuating people from flood-affected districts. Meanwhile, after remaining closed for almost two days, the NH 27 which is one of the two lifelines of Kandla and Mundra ports in Kutch has been reopened for vehicular traffic on Thursday morning as floodwaters receded in the area.The IMD said today that a cyclone is likely to develop over the north Arabian Sea, off Gujarat coast tomorrow. The cyclone is most unlikely to affect Indian coasts, as the prevailing deep depression over Saurashtra-Kutch would have moved away to the north Arabian Sea by tomorrow. If realised, this will be only the second cyclone to develop in the Arabian Sea since August 1964. Upon intensifying into a cyclone, it will acquire the name Asna, christened by Pakistan.Former BJP MP and Wrestling Federation of India ex-president Brij Bhushan Singh sought the quashing of all criminal proceedings against him over allegations of sexual assault of wrestlers before the Delhi High Court today. He argued that there was “a hidden agenda” behind the complaints against him as he was the president of WFI at the time. The 1,500-page chargesheet against Singh for alleged sexual harassment, assault and stalking of six women wrestlers had included statements of at least 22 witnesses from across four states, including wrestlers, a referee, a coach and a physiotherapist.Australia's Education Minister Jason Clare on Tuesday announced plans to introduce a National Planning Level to cap the number of new international students at 2.7 lakh for the calendar year 2025 which is pending parliamentary approval. This cap marks the lowest intake in the past five years, and a significant decrease from the 5.61 lakh international students who started their studies in 2023. The announcement comes merely a month after a hike in Australia's visa processing fee came into effect on 1st of July.This was the Catch Up on 3 Things by The Indian Express.
This is the Catchup on 3 Things by The Indian Express and I'm Flora Swain.Today is the 28th of August and here are the headlines.In her first reaction to the alleged rape and murder of a junior doctor at R G Kar Medical College in Kolkata, President Droupadi Murmu today said that she was “dismayed and horrified” over the incident and asked the country to wake up to the “perversion” of crimes against women. The President told news agency PTI, “Those who share such views then go further and see the female as an object… We owe it to our daughters to remove the hurdles from their path of winning the freedom from fear." The President added that no civilised society can allow daughters and sisters to be subjected to such atrocities. “The nation is bound to be outraged, and so am I,” she wrote.From the Army leading rescue operations in Vadodara, nine more people dying, taking the toll in rain-related incidents to 16 to Prime Minister Narendra Modi dialling CM Bhupendra Patel to assure all help— heavy rains have wreaked havoc in Gujarat. Over 8,500 people have been relocated and rescued from flood-affected areas as rain continued to lash some parts of the state for the fourth consecutive day today. The IMD has issued a ‘red alert' for several districts, predicting heavy to very heavy rainfall over the next five days. The Enforcement Directorate today said a penalty of Rs 908 crore has been slapped in a case related to the violation of foreign exchange rules against DMK MP S Jagathratchakan and his family members. The federal agency issued a statement which said that properties worth Rs 89.19 crore, seized in September 2020, have been confiscated following an adjudication order issued on August 26 under the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA). Jagathratchakan, 76, represents the Arakkonam Lok Sabha seat. The agency said a FEMA probe was initiated against the MP, a businessman from Tamil Nadu, his family members and related Indian entity.The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi today approved setting up of 12 industrial smart cities under the National Industrial Corridor Development Programme (NICDP) with an estimated investment of Rs. 28,602 crore. The project spans across 10 states and is strategically planned along six major corridors. Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said the project will create an investment potential of about Rs 1.52 lakh crore.The Kremlin announced on Wednesday that India's position on a peaceful resolution for the Ukraine conflict aligns with Russia's worldview. According to a Reuters report, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated that while Russia supports India's advocacy for a peaceful settlement, it is "more than obvious" that there is no basis for negotiations at the moment. Peskov also dismissed Ukrainian President Zelenskyy's proposed plan to end the conflict, asserting that Russia would continue its "special military operation" in Ukraine. This was the Catchup on 3 Things by The Indian Express.

A one-of-a-kind, Double Vince episode is here! Vince Chan hosting Vince Jeong from Sparkwise. Vince J takes us on a wild ride—from navigating the immigrant experience at 12, to shaking up the corporate training world with an edtech revolution. From discovering a passion for people development to scaling the unscalable in adult learning. Whether it's cracking the code on real human connections in a digital age or bringing McKinsey-level training to your fingertips, this episode is packed with hard-won wisdom, sharp insights, and a touch of humor that will leave you inspired to level up your own journey. Episode Breakdown: 1:53—Immigrant Experience 101: Learning English and Rediscovering Myself at Age 12 “Moving from South Korea to Canada when I didn't really speak much English at age 12 forced me to discover myself again.” “The thread through all my experiences has been people development, capability building, and talent development.” 3:50—Learning by Doing: The Best Way to Discover What You Really Want. Why Theorizing Only Gets You So Far. “I've often found that you can only really discover and learn your true preferences by gaining first-hand experience. Theorizing only gets you so far.” “I applied a principle from my engineering background: when you're trying to optimize a function under uncertainty, you double down on the areas where you have no data points.” “Growing up, I would have characterized my young self as a people pleaser, getting a lot of validation and enjoyment from things that others tell about me.” 13:14—Bringing McKinsey's Gold Standard to Everyone: The Spark Behind Creating an EdTech for Live Group Learning “At McKinsey, people fought to get onto training programs. It was interactive, engaging, and team-based. I thought that's what corporate training looked like everywhere—until I saw the difference in other organizations.” “McKinsey's approach to training, especially in live group formats, set a high bar for what great learning experiences should be. It made me realize how crucial it is to invest in people's development.” 17:09—From TV Host to Startup Boss: The Founder-Market Fit of Live Group Learning “Throughout my life, I've just been involved in a lot of things that involve live groups. I used to be on TV in Korea, hosting live shows and facilitating conversations.” 18:55—Differentiation Value to Create: Scaling the Unscalable "Only the very privileged or high-budget institutions of the world are able to offer learners the truly great learning experiences grounded in adult learning pedagogy." "What we're doing is we're taking that experience that today can only be accessed by really privileged settings and making it much more accessible to many more people through technology." 23:04—Rebuilding Stronger Community: Foster Real Connections Beyond Social Media's Shallow Bonds “We create an environment where people solve problems together that are realistic but fictitious, which helps them engage deeply without having to be vulnerable from the get-go.” 27:24—Partners in Crime: Those Who Crave Rich Interactions or Scale Quality Learning at a Bargain “The level and richness of interactions that are available virtually through Sparkwise is much stronger than if they were to cobble together other tools like Zoom and a whiteboarding tool.” “When you need to deliver learning to thousands or tens of thousands of learners, our solution allows them to scale their business in a streamlined way without needing an army of facilitators.” 30:24—Turning Idle Content into Action: Beating AI with Human-to-Human Engagement for Deeper Learning “There's a lot of idle content out there today, and simply reading is rarely the best way for people to actually understand those concepts.” “What we see is we're providing an alternative, a new way for people to engage with information and content that is human to human, that AI can't simply come and displace.” Connect with us: Host: Vince Chan Guest: Vince Jeong Chief Change Officer: Listen Ambitiously.

If you were the host of this show, how would you define the following guest? Our first guest from Belgium: Sihame El Kaouakibi. She's a Moroccan immigrant, a burnout and bankruptcy survivor, a parliamentarian, a champion of diversity and inclusion, the creator of Women Leaders OS, and a women's leadership coach. She is all of these and more. But beyond these identities, what truly captivates me are the experiences that have shaped these transformations. Some people thrive in politics, others in stability. Sihame thrives in adversity. She describes herself as more than resilient—she's anti-fragile. I see Sihame as someone who has learned, over time, to turn adversity into an advantage. It's not an inborn talent; it's something nurtured and developed. How? Tune in and find out now. Episode Breakdown: 02:15—Burnt Out, Bankrupt, and Back in Business “I went from being burnt out, confused, overwhelmed, and even bankrupt to now being in the best shape of my life—physically, mentally, and professionally.” 5:56—Validation Detox: Kicking the Need for External Approval “Without success, without my work, without external validation and recognition, I felt like nothing. I felt nobody.” 11:42—Politics 101: When Ego Meets Reality “I made an ego-driven decision, and it was a messiah complex, believing I had everything—like potential and talents to drive change.” “I wasn't aligned with my values and beliefs anymore. So my lesson is if you feel you have to give up on your principles, quit.” 21:59—Thriving vs. Surviving: Why “You're Not Stuck, You're Just in the Wrong Pot” Applies to Your Career “The most liberating decision can be to move on and find your tribe, find your environment where you can thrive.” “Sometimes it's better to accept the rejection than feeling stuck. Rejection can be redirection, and it's sometimes better to just leave.” 25:41—Operating System for Women Leaders: How to Handle Life's Curveballs Without Crashing “My mission is to help 1 million women turn life challenges into life changes for the better. These women want to break through in their careers, but they want to do it without the burnouts.” “Women still lack internal beliefs and also support systems. So it starts really with women deciding that they are worthy and willing to change.” 43:46—Success Isn't Always Instagram-Pretty: The Ugly Side of the Hustle “There's so much about glamorized success, but there is always another side. People you envy might be in deep pain, even if they are millionaires or have social status.” Connect with Us: Sihame El Kaouakibi and Vince Chan Chief Change Officer: Listen Ambitiously.

In this week's MBA Admissions podcast we began with a discussion of our BIG event in Chicago on Wednesday May 15th; please join us if you can, by signing up here: https://www.bit.ly/cachicagofair We then turned to a discussion of the week ahead; several programs are releasing final decisions for Round 3, including UPenn / Wharton, USC / Marshall, MIT / Sloan, Yale SOM, Oxford / Said, UCLA / Anderson and Washington / Foster. Graham then highlighted the Spring Online Webinar series that Clear Admit is hosting. The second event in the series is on Wednesday, May 22th. Signups are here: https://www.bit.ly/caspringwebinars Graham then mentioned a recently published admissions tip that focuses on pre-MBA additional coursework; this might be useful for candidates who have very little quantitative studies in their undergraduate studies, or for candidates who need to address below par grades. Graham then noted four Real Humans Alumni pieces, alums from: Berkeley / Haas who works at Pepsi, IMD who works at Amazon, Notre Dame / Mendoza who works at Microsoft, and Stanford who works at Myc0Works. For the candidate profile review portion of the show this week, Alex selected two ApplyWire entries and one DecisionWire entry: This week's first MBA admissions candidate is targeting Stanford. They have a very interesting background in EdTech, they also have their own YouTube channel with a significant number of followers, as a content creator. We worry that only targeting Stanford can be risky, but they do appear to have an attractive profile. This week's second MBA candidate is from India, and also has French citizenship. They have strong numbers, and appear to have done well in their career, to date. They want to target the top programs, and we encourage them to include those programs in the first round. The final MBA candidate for this week is deciding between UCLA / Anderson and USC / Marshall, with substantial scholarships. They are seeking buy-side finance roles, and wonder if one of these options will be good enough, or should they reapply to higher-tier programs next season. This episode was recorded in Paris, France and Cornwall, England. It was produced and engineered by the fabulous Dennis Crowley in Philadelphia, USA. Thanks to all of you who've been joining us and please remember to rate and review this show wherever you listen!
Few leaders have been trained to ask great questions. That might explain why they tend to be good at certain kinds of questions, and less effective at other kinds. Unfortunately, that hurts their ability to pursue strategic priorities. Arnaud Chevallier, strategy professor at IMD Business School, explains how leaders can break out of that rut and systematically ask five kinds of questions: investigative, speculative, productive, interpretive, and subjective. He shares real-life examples of how asking the right sort of question at a key time can unlock value and propel your organization. With his IMD colleagues Frédéric Dalsace and Jean-Louis Barsoux, Chevallier wrote the HBR article "The Art of Asking Smarter Questions."
