“While it is rewarding to see me ranked in the top 10 as the only academic with a bunch of CEOs, the ranking per se does not mean that much to me. What it represents instead is that I have found an audience that I can inspire to discuss aspects of leadership and doctoral education with. The real reward I get is being able to interact with so many people from all over the world- it is an inspiring enterprise,” says Bob Harris.
