Len's Last Lecture: Babson College President Leonard Schlesinger's remarks at student sendoff
OMG he worked in a paper mill too!
AT Green Bay, WS. P&G in 1973! Puffs facial issues!
He is GREAT!
1. People simply don't care how much you know, until they know how much you care about them.
2.
Leonard Schlesinger is Babson's President, was Associate Professor of Business Administration at the Harvard Business School where his teaching and research is in Organizational Behavior and Human Resource Management. He currently serves as faculty chairman of the school's Executive Education program in Human Resource Management. He received his bachelor's degree from Brown University, an MBA in Corporate and Labor Relations from Columbia University, and a doctorate in Organizational Behavior from the Harvard Business School. Prior to joining the Harvard faculty in 1978 he served in a number of manufacturing, industrial relations and organization development positions with Procter and Gamble and held the posifion of Associate Coordinator of Youth Services in the State of Rhode Island. The bulk of Professor Schlesinger's recent research has focused on (2) organizational innovations designed to foster employee productivity and quality of work life, (2) the strategic readaptation of organizations in response to changes in technology, markets, regulation andlor work force demographics, and (3) the management of human resources in large diversified companies. He is author of five books and several articles in scholarly and management oriented journals.
Leonard A. Schlesinger ’73 discusses 35 years of applying what he learned at Columbia Business School to a successful career in business and academia.
Extraordinary Training I was trained extraordinarily well. I received my MBA in 1973 with a concentration in corporate and labor relations. My MBA became a platform for me to engage with real-world phenomena. The Columbia Business School experience inspired me to test, experiment with and apply the theories that I learned as a student, by instilling the fundamental notion that theory and practice go hand in hand. One cannot be fully developed and successful without the other. From the start, I was eager for the opportunity to put this training into practice. Many of my classmates went off to banking jobs. That was the traditional route that most MBA graduates took at the time—many still do. I decided to do something radically different—and that was a big risk. My first job was as a first-line supervisor on the night shift of a Procter & Gamble factory that produced paper products. I was on the floor, not in an office like the majority of my classmates. It wasn’t glamorous, but it was exciting. This move was largely an outcome of recognizing that through my MBA experience I had developed lots of conceptual notions, and a curiosity about the kinds of outcome these notions stimulated when put into practice. While I worked at Procter & Gamble, a group of academic researchers and consultants came to the factory to experiment with semiautonomous and autonomous work-teams. This drove me to go back and get my doctorate in an attempt to more deeply understand the business practices I was encountering in the real world. After getting my doctorate from Harvard Business School, and spending years in industry, I returned to academia as a faculty member to try to develop a broader conceptual framework to execute against the work I had done in the service, profit sector. I was continually developing ideas about how the machinery of business operates, testing those concepts in the industry and then going back to study them more closely—all habits that started at Columbia. At each step of the way, a curiosity that I developed at the School led me to my next career move.

Nice speech, learning my 1+2+3!
親愛的各位親戚朋友， 大家好！
非常感謝大家在百忙之中，放棄休息的時間，前來參加這個宴會。作為母親，看著自己心愛的兒女長大，有了自己的小家庭，我感到很幸福。在坐的很多親戚，是看著孩子長大的，所以，在這裡我首先要感謝大家這麼多年來對孩子的關心和幫助。
雖然今天是大喜的日子，但是作為母親，我不想說什麼“執子之手，與子偕老”，“百年好合，天長地久”之類祝福的話。
我想對女兒、女婿叮囑幾句，說三句“不是”。
第一句，婚姻不是1+1=2，而是0.5+0.5=1。結婚後，你們小倆口都要去掉自己一半的個性，要有作出妥協和讓步的心理準備，這樣才能組成一個完美的家庭。現在的青年男女們，起初往往被對方的“鋒芒”所吸引，但也會因為對方的“鋒芒”而受傷。媽媽是過來人，想對你們說，收斂自己的“鋒芒”，容忍對方的“鋒芒”，才是兩情永久的真正秘訣。
第二句，愛情不是親密無間，而應是寬容“有間”。結婚後，每個人都有自己的交往圈子，夫妻雙方有時模糊點、保留點，反而更有吸引力，給別人空間，也是給自己自由。請記住，婚姻不是佔有，而是結合，所謂結合，就像聯盟，首先要尊重對方。
第三句，家不是講理的地方，更不是算帳的地方，家是一個講愛的地方。不是有這麼一句話嗎？男人是泥，女人是水。所以男女的結合不過是“和稀泥”。婚姻是兩個人搭夥過日子，如果什麼事都深究“法理”，那只會弄得雙方很疲憊。
好了，我就說這些。最後，媽媽還是衷心地祝願你們婚姻美滿，幸福甜蜜。也祝願在坐的各位親朋好友家庭和睦、身體健康、萬事如意！謝謝大家！
The best!
