I have to manage my companies growth and liaise between my company in Shanghai and the cheese production near Bordeaux. Thats why I chose HEC Paris, Europes leading business school. My first best memory is the team work. Collaborative work was very new to me, as you have to struggle on your own in China as a foreign company. And the second is the Leadership module. The CEO in the company is just as an orchestra conductor. As a conductor, if you are too close, musicians cannot breath, if you are too far, they cannot see you. This is the last sentence Ilearned from the last lecture.
