Aren’t we ready to recognize in this statement the motto of the best European School of Management sacred as such by the Financial Times in its December 2013 ranking?
Is boldness to be qualified as a learning virtue?
It will be easily understood that the underlying issue is about entrepreneurship and about job creation.
It is difficult to imagine the creation of employment in the private sector without taking entrepreneurial risk.
But insofar as the official statistics are accurate, more than half of the employment in the private sector is attributable to SMEs.
Isn’t employment in the private sector somehow the preserve of business leaders who have learnt to make risky decisions without the need of having been lectured to do so in the schools of management?
But perhaps what was meant by “boldness” was to be understood in the context of state and public entities.
