François Ortalo-Magné: Leading clever people

Lancefield on the Line

How do you lead a group of clever, brilliant people?

That’s a question I posed of Francois Ortalo-Magne, Dean and CEO of the London Business School.

We delve into his world as the leader of the one of the world’s most prestigious business schools.

We talk about:

• Harnessing the collective intelligence of his faculty and students for the greater good – making connections and creating the conditions for curious wandering.
• The opportunities and challenges from being an outsider CEO.
• The role and impact of a business school.
• His toughest decisions e.g. during the pandemic.
• What he would disrupt in business education, and where he would start.

You’ll hear about analogies stretching farming to football too!
