EPISODE 18: Dan LeClair (GBSN) on How the Rules for "Deaning" Have Changed

On this episode of Deans Counsel, moderators Jim Ellis and Dave Ikenberry speak with Dan LeClair, Ph.D, CEO of the Global Business School Network (GBSN). Prior to GBSN, Dan was an Executive Vice President at AACSB International, an association and accrediting organization that serves some 1,600 business schools in more than 100 countries. His experience at AACSB includes two and half years as Chief Strategy and Innovation Officer, seven years as Chief Operating Officer, and five years as Chief Knowledge Officer.

The author of over 80 research reports, articles, and blogs, Dan is widely recognized as a thought leader in management education. 

In his conversation with Jim and Dave, Dan talks about the evolution of the business school Dean's role, and what's required in that position today, including:

• Going beyond internal measures of success.

• Striving for true, societal impact.

• The increasing freedom deans have to define success.

• How Deans should focus more broadly on cross campus and external relations, even globally. 

• Why the future is less about the individual B school and more about cross campus collaborations.
