Message from Professor Alberto Grando

Hi everybody, I attached below the message sent by the SDA Bocconi Dean, Professor Alberto Grando, to all SDA Bocconi MBAs 35. I would like to thank personally Professor Grando who promoted the internship opportunity at Kalongo.

Dear Federico,
dear MBAs 35, given my age, I'm not particularly accustom with
blogs, but I would like to express my personal gratitude for the
choice Federico made. I know that others among you all, had the
desire to follow him, but unfortunately it is an option for a few. I
really think that the MBA must be a transforming experience and not
just from a professional point of view. Building the leader of
tomorrow is our goal. But the issue of leadership addresses the
question: “leadership to what end”? It is hard to mention leadership
without invoking a question about values. Being leader in the
society means serving people, companies, institutions - in a word -
the large community of the outside society in which you are asked to
behave as professionals, as you are, as well as civil servants, as
I’m sure all of you will be. Thank'you very much for making us proud.
I'll follow the bolg in the next months, but if you can, please
insert my message in it.
Take care and all the best.
Alberto Grando
