Are business schools teaching students to be arrogant? Should they teach humility? Lesley Curwen discusses this with two Deans, Paul Danos, Dean of the Tuck School of Business in the US, and Santiago Iniguez, Dean of the IE Business School in Madrid. Paul Danos says his staff have already done a lot of thinking about the importance of students' attitudes. Plus, we ask Dr Julian Kilburn whether cruise ship doctors really do have a dream job. He argues they must cope with being on call 24/7 and sometimes tending to hundreds of people sick with tummy-bugs. And our regular commentator, Lucy Kellaway reflects on why your neuroses could in fact be the key to your business success.
