How To Offset A Low GMAT Score

Blast from the Past:

The Best 40 B-School Profs Under The Age of 40

What makes a great teacher?

Do they inspire? Challenge? Entertain? Clarify? Care? What makes these teachers so memorable? And why are they sometimes able to change the lives of their students?

One answer comes from Justine Lelchuk, a Harvard MBA and former co-president of the business school’s Student Association.  She described a great business school professor as

“someone who is a dynamic facilitator, clear communicator, active listener, passionate expert, provocative motivator, bridge between theory and practice, and just plain human.”

Poets&Quants took this definition to heart in 2011, when we polled students, alumni and officials to find those rising stars at American business schools. Their backgrounds are colorful and their methods are unique. Some come from the ranks of casino dealers and circus stuntmen. And their classrooms integrate everything from rapping to Apprentice-style projects. But one thread unites these 40 professors: A love of teaching. Check out our profiles of these 40 amazing educators, including their backgrounds, academic interests, and personal lives.

MBA Humor

The boss returned from lunch in a good mood and called the whole staff in to listen to a couple of jokes he had picked up. Everybody, but one girl laughed uproariously.

“What’s the matter?” grumbled the boss. “Haven’t you got a sense of humor?”

“I don’t have to laugh,” she replied. “I’m leaving Friday.”

You know you go to a business school when you get excited when someone endorses you for a skill on Linked In.

How did I spend my first day back working at the business school? Jamming to journey on the air guitar in my 3rd floor closet.
