| MBA Happiness Index published by Forbes May 2013 |
This is just unbelievable !
I found out tonight this fantastic index, which should more often be used when measuring or ranking MBA performance, instead of the usual post-MBA salary, ROI, payback, etc.
The only problem is that the 12 surveyed business schools did not include INSEAD. Therefore, the results are probably quite underestimated : I think the happiness index during and post MBA would be much greater if it included INSEAD. No doubt post MBA index would be double digit !
More seriously, I believe that the Happiness indicator could be well considered for other rankings throughout society.
Indeed, amid the worst turbulent economic times ever faced in 2008-2013 (think sub-primes, CDO's, Jerome Kerviel, Lehman Brothers, Iceland, ... , Italy, Greece ...) I think that HOPE and RADICAL OPTIMISM are probably the best remaining tools to beat the crisis.
A virtuous circle of improved morale and restored growth must be achieved through a winning, radically optimist, mindset and attitude, from all leaders in the political, economical, educational and business arenas.
This is why the next INSEAD ESSENTIALS in Paris will be held on September 12th with the following agenda: "How to make the world a better place / How to be radical optimists amid the worst turbulent times".
Save the date !
