I am less disposed to think of a West Point education as requisite for this business than I was at first. Good sense and energy are the qualities required.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I am a West Point graduate and an Army veteran.
I have therefore concluded to apply for the privilege of becoming a Cadet at West Point.
I graduated from West Point in 1974. It was an all-male institution. I went back to teach at West Point in 1984 and found the place far better than it was when I had been a cadet... I attributed a good amount of that to the fact that we opened up the academy to women.
Business schools need to address students on a human being level, not as cogs in the machine to supply fresh talent to big companies.
West Pointers tend to be rigorously honest - more than necessary, in my view.
There's no doubt West Point impacted who I am... It has an enormous emphasis, not only on military aspects, but character development. Whether it's the honor code, or the interactions you have, both with the cadet leadership and the academy leadership, every place you are is a character test.
Remember, I'm West Point, where I was born. My father went there.
I find, in merchandising and design and creative, a business school degree isn't particularly helpful.
My favorite way to do business is the Landmark Education Forum.
The only thing you need to set up a business school is a warm body and a piece of chalk.
