Roger Martin, Dean of Rotman, is one of the leading edge leaders of business schools, I believe, and we are lucky to have him here in Canada. In the USA, here are thoughts on the MBA by one of my favorite out of the box investment advisors - Check out Clemens Kownatski' blog for more:
MBA Reality Check: "Harvard Business Review just published: The Best-Performing CEOs in the World
Very interesting to see who is on that list and even more interesting to learn what their backgrounds are. As a Business School graduate, I often wonder about the merits of an MBA degree, considering the time, effort and substantial capital that went into the education. Going through the list of Top50 CEOs, I noticed that only 15 out of 50 (less than a third) had a formal business education. Although I still consider business school one of the best investments I ever made, one has to wonder what these Non-MBAs know that isn’t taught in business school and whether or not that skill can be taught at all? Next time you consider an investment, you may wonder what makes people like Steve Jobs such an “out of the box” thinker; perhaps the same thought process could be used when analyzing your next investment."

The MBA is a great start or mid career rejuvenation.
Martin delivers a different leadership of MBAs. He is a great leader and maybe a better leader than the top CEO list?
