“Until business schools teach future accounts and leaders how deep the connections are between business, society, nature, and the world, corporations will continue to be run by hollow leaders who have no sense of ethics or responsibility. • Accounting for performances is likely to remain too narrowly focused to be helpful in todays’ demanding environment.” • (André, 2008), Organizational Behaviour
Last thought • “Of four standard managerial activities, only networking had a statistically significant relationship with being successful” • (André, 2008), Organizational behaviour
