What Participants Are Saying
"If you are looking for a high energy, stimulating and challenging program on leadership of high caliber professionals, this is the program you should attend. I appreciated the fact that the faculty went out of their way to mingle and exchange views with the program participants. This was very much a part of the learning experience for me."
JAMES M. SWEET [DEPARTMENT HEAD]
DRINKER BIDDLE & REATH LLP, PHILADELPHIA, PA, USA
"Throughout my career I have attended a 'catalog full' of various educational programs and courses. All these combined would not equal the experience of the LPSF program. All the materials, lectures, and discussions were 'on target' to give me the vision I need to lead my practice unit"
NEAL E. CODY, JR. [PARTNER]
CRISP HUGHES EVANS LLP, ASHEVILLE, NC
"The faculty were inspirational. The case study approach, for me, elicited a high level of personal reflection and inquiry enhanced by the debate and interplay with other program participants. I have gained a clarification of priorities in my role in leading the company. I feel energised, with an agenda and a sense of urgency to pursue it."
TERENCE J. KAYES [MANAGING DIRECTOR]
TONKIN & TAYLOR LIMITED, AUCKLAND, NEW ZEALAND
"I have returned to Australia with renewed vigour and fresh ideas to focus on aligning our in-house legal team, both intra-team, and as part of the overall bank family. This will provide sufficient intellectual challenge until the next occasion I can attend an HBS program!"

ROBERT MCGAURAN [DIRECTOR]
MCGAURAN SOON PTY. LTD., MELBOURNE AUSTRALIA
"I found the Leadership in Professional Service Firms course one of the most outstanding learning experiences I have encountered. The remarkable efforts of the faculty, the administrators and those others who participated so fully in the preparation of case studies all contributed to the success. It would be invidious to single anyone out from what was a superb team effort."
ANDREW J. MILLS-BAKER [CHIEF EXECUTIVE]
FARRER & CO., LONDON, ENGLAND
"Leading Professional Service Firms was the best week long learning experience I have had. Interacting with people from around the world was a great experience and learning by the case method kept everyone involved—not to mention the best possible professorial leadership."
